May I suggest a day trip to Palmerston North?
A visit to John Clarke's birthplace disguised as a cultural extravaganza?

@Victor-Meldrew Indeed. A must-see

Usual tourist spots like Te Papa, Weta Workshop, Cable Car etc are good. A trip to Eastbourne ( there is a statue of @Bones there ), Oriental Bay plus an absolute litany of cafes/bars etc.
Tell her to watch out for homeless in town ( seriously, the amount of ferals sitting outside shops is getting ridiculous )
The Thunderbird exhibition at Weta was excellent

Apparently the Featherstone does a decent feed of cheerios and you can drink and punt while you eat them.
I say apparently because I don’t eat those disgusting things, but I know some cretins who do
I feel seen.

From Eastbourne - the walk to Pencarrow lighthouse is a nice outing on a fine day. As is the walk around Redrocks.
Good call, although if time is an issue, I'd suggest a walk to butterfly creek might be better time spent - wicked views and if new to NZ she get a smile out of being followed around by piwakawaka. If not unfit, you could do both on the same day, then top it off with a bomb off day's bay wharf followed by some hot chips and a latte at the pavilion.

Maronui for brunch, next to the airport so handy if flying.

Can confirm. That is a sensational walk.
