It's a good 6 hours and a half to drive from Auckland to Wanganui. If you use the train, it's a good 8 hours travel time, including a lunch break at the National Park cafe. It's a very scenic route and you would enjoy the travel for the first 3 times. You might get bored and might find it better to sleep after the 3rd time though. Below is the driving directions:
