Mt Tauhara
A moderate hike to the summit that offers excellent views of Lake Taupo, Mt Ruapehu and Mt Tongariro. The track is very well marked however it branches off quite frequently, don't panic all tracks lead to the summit so you won't get lost. The summit has great views but the best views are a bit further down the ridge line on a rocky outcrop.

Mt Taranaki
Active Stratovolcano located just east of New Plymouth on the North Island of New Zealand. 2nd highest mountain on the north island and was used as the backdrop in the film 'The Last Samurai' due to its similarity to Mt Fuji. You can see it all the way from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on a clear day! It should only be climbed in summer unless you have proper mountaineering experience, even then expect it to be snow/ice capped. An excellent and challenging walk to the summit with a bit of everything - scree/hiking/scrambling/crossing ice plains.

The Old Ghost Road
This is an excellent five day walk in the north-west of the South Island. track is very well maintained, huts are very well managed and have all you need for cooking, eating. I have done the Routeburn and would say this surpasses it easily for range of scenery, continually interesting walking, facilities etc. Only thing I would say is bring a lot of repellent. the sand flies are bad!
While it is also a cycle trail, there was very little evidence of bikes as we walked. Hardly met anyone on the trail, in fact, but lots of good company in the huts at the end of the day. I think this may become one of the must do walks of NZ as it becomes better known.

Welcome Flat
An interesting walk along the Karangarua and Copland Rivers. the walk is the western section of the Copland Pass track that is an alpine pass that must be completed by competent alpine hikers, or by hiring a guide out of Mt Cook Village. <br />The walk is reasonably easy with only about 600m elevation gained, though there are a number of river crossings all of which have some form of bridge. the best part about Welcome Flat is at the hut there are thermal pools which have been terraced all with different temperature pools.<br />The hut itself is also rather unique being one of only a few that are 2 storey, with the communal cooking and eating area downstairs and sleeping upstairs. During the peak tramping season the hut is manned by a DOC ranger which is a volunteer service, and I think it would be an awesome job spending a couple of months in this beautiful part of the world.
