I do it regurlarly 2.0 pukekohe to Tauranga,auckland motorway on easter Friday at 4.30 it will be 2 hours to the bombays.last long weekend for the year and everyones going to be getting out Is going to be crazy. Quickest way down Roscommon road to Weymouth round about take 2 nd exit stay on this road through to takanini on motorway there ( mind speed camera after the roundabout on the straight there at Weymouth). and yes this will be the quickest route south

Best way to go ?. Matamata way or the scenic route through the gorge.

A shade over two hours if you go past Te Kauwhata and via Tahuna/ Matamata and over the Kaimais, probably a bit longer the scenic way through the Karanghake Gorge. But on Easter Friday? I'd add an hour or two to that, depending on time of day. I go both ways regularly as I have relatives there

Could take anywhere between 2.5 hours to 2 or 3 days, even with the amount of traffic on the roads. It all depends on look, gender & whether you are using your thumb or your leg

Fortunately most of the traffic will be trying to escape Auckland to go to a nice place like Tauranga. I would still allow at least 3 hours tomorrow.

Check out the AA website. At Xmas there was something on there with expected traffic times at the various hotspots. It had recommended times of day to travel and everything.

Tune the radio to AM 1080 and listen carefully to the road reports, usually after each 1/2 hour newsbreaks
