As mentioned of others above her - lots of nice roads both on and offroad, campsites are plenty and in general cheap (use Wikicamps NZ to find them) but be prepared for days with rain and heavy weather - so plan to stay in B&Bs, cabins, hostels and pubhotels when the weather gets bad.
I rode 10 weeks/12 k kms in NZ, march-may this year but I bought a bike there as I thought the rental prices was very high. Its also very easy for a foreigner to purchase a vehicle in NZ. Its of course good to have a friend there who can help with the sale if the bike isnt sold upon your date of exiting NZ. So you dont have to sell it dirt cheap.
