There is an NZDA in Tauranga, may be worth getting in touch with them.
Doc has online topo maps on their website, they are pretty good to use, shows tracks and huts etc...
SpotX book is a good start, cheap enough.
Most north island guides work on private land. Very expensive option, but results are high percentage. It's like hiring a hooker to lose your virginity...Yes you'll get what your after, but results may vary depending on how much you're willing to pay...
The kaimais + a gps on any road end between katikati and tauranga should get you onto deer sign.
