Take the time to go and visit an archery shop and get some proper advice Ashley.
A bow needs to be the correct draw length and poundage for you to use it comfortably and get the best from it, and the arrows also have to have the correct spine (stiffness) to suit the bow.
If you can visit a local club then you may be able to have a go with a few different bows and get a better idea of what will suit you best.
If you buy a bow without knowing what you actually need first then you will probably buy something unsuitable and end up having to change it, which will end up costing you more money than if you get it right the first time.
Archery clubs ? Where are they
Type 'Archery Auckland' into Google and there should be plenty for you to start with.
http://aucklandarchery.org.nz/
https://advancedarchery.co.nz/
I would think these two would be good places to start.
There's an archery range on Mt Albert, and another in Drury (near the glider club, I think).

friendly helpful guys. Will be able to direct you to current shops and probably a club range day around Christchurch.
In the past, Aimtru had a shop with indoor range in town but may have moved in recent years.
There is a field archery club in town:
