[ManDownUnder]

I'll taking the car so moderate driving times needed. But how much time should I allow for the following sectors?

Hamilton - Tauranga
Tauranga - Rotorua

Ham - Trg = around 1:45 - 2:15, depending on route, traffic and driving style.

Trg - Rot = Around 40 - 55 minutes.

hamilton - trg - speed limit you are looking at like 1hr maybe 1hr.15 (i spend 1 year doing this trip 4 times a week)

trg- rotovegas - really depends which way you go, if pyes pa road(more direct, but a bit wet, and icey this time of year. looking maybe 40ish mins), The other routes, maybe 50mins 1 hour tops. There is two ways for this trip, back over kamais and thru maakaus, or via te puke, both pretty much same.

At a guess...Hams-Tauranga 1:30-1:45
Tauranga Direct route to Rots 50 mins max. Other way through Te Puke about 1 hour.

Hamilton to Tauranga is no more than 1:15. I've done it plenty of times well under an hour (on a bike of course).

Hamilton to Tauranga is no more than 1:15. I've done it plenty of times well under an hour (on a bike of course).

This is a fair time as i've driven this route many times and a trip to waihi is 55 -65 minutes and over to rotarua 50 minutes, depending on traffic and road works.

Cheers all - I'l be a 1.6 with 150kg of Austrlian beside me, so I'll triple the times and allow for pie breaks...

[What?]

Depends alot on exactly where in each town you are measuring from.
I regularly do both trips.
From home to centre of Hamilton is bang on one hour, so add on 15 to 20 minutes from my place to Tauranga CBD = 1:20 Trg to Ham.

Tauranga to Rotorua via Pyes pa 50 min provided you don't get held up in traffic (and watch out for ice at this time of year); via Kaimai/Mamaku 1:10; via Te Puke about the same.
