I could only suggesst looking at the vorb.org.nz website. Poke around the trail maps, forums, etc, see what you find.
I was in Queenstown over Christmas and the MTB scene is alive and well there, I picked up a map of the local rides from a well stocked bike shop and saw stacks of people with MTBs on there cars.
It's just an hours drive from Wanaka so may be worth a look.

www.trademe.co.nz is probably the best place to find 2nd hand mtn bikes
http://www.mountainbike.co.nz/ is not bad for a list of clubs and shops too
I was staying at Wanaka in July for a ski holiday.
It's either skiing or MTB at Wanaka.
Names of shops escape me now but i reckon there must be about 6 retail outlets selling bikes.
One that sticks out, is the big Ski outlet on the main road (opp) lake which have 1 shop dedicated to ski gear (hire & sales) and another shop dedicated to cycling , almost next door to it.
Oh, Wanaka is such a great town, i love it ...... i'd even consider moving there.
dragging up old thread.......
Spent a few nights in Wanaka last week, Racers Edge (http://www.racersedge.co.nz/) is the shop across from the lakefront.
Will create a short thread elsewhere on my experience there.
I've been seriously thinking of moving there for sometime (years!), just what to do for work is the problem.......
