Another idea that might work for you, once you've decided for sure that you're coming back to NZ in the reasonably near future:
When we flew to NZ to shop for a house, before making the final trip out a month or so later, was to bring as much as the airline would let us. Then we left most of it behind, in low-cost storage. It was cheaper to do it that way than to pay for excess luggage on the next flight.
Good luck!
