There are ways to stay longer than 90 days in New Zealand, even as a visitor. For example:
If you intend to work in New Zealand, such as if you have a job offer, you can apply for various temporary work visas. You may even apply for such a visa after you have arrived in the country as a tourist.
The Immigration New Zealand web site is well laid out and presents the various visa options clearly (see "Find a visa").
