Yes, if you were to live rurally I would think a car would be a necessity.
Here's the
thread about driving tests in NZ that the test link comes from. I still can't get that site to work so it looks like it's down for the moment.

I couldn't honestly say, not being a driver myself, but perhaps someone else has heard if they have them in NZ.
This tells you how you go about
learning and how much it's likely to cost.
Regarding my comments in my first post about whether you'd have to sit another practical test, I found this:
You don't have to sit the practical test if:
you have a licence from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America, and
your licence is current (or has expired within the past 12 months), and
you've held that licence for more than two years.
