Okay I know how I would get there but to explain it ummm well.
leave taupo go up state one to Putaruru head north up 27 up as far as tahuna, turn right to Paeroa, through Karangahape gorge then to Wahi, make sence, follow it on a map, but that would be the best I can think of
Have fun. why you going anyway?

the other way is alot better than than rotorua/tauranga, you are looking at a good 270ish from taupo to waihi instead of there way which is 209. and SH1, so more lax out, give us a bell if you gonna be in tauranga for long , thats during normal daylight hours of course
