I didn't notice you said easy. Buller isn't technically hard, it's just a long walk with a lot of elevation. Anyone can do it.

But if you want easy technically and fitness-wise, try MT. Baldy. It's actually really fun, is the closest scramble to the city, and you can probably get up and down in less than 4 hours. Just take HWY 1 to HWY 40, and then Mt. Baldy is the first mountain on your left. You'll see at the base that there's a little parking lot and a small trail that dissapears into the trees. That's your entrance. It's maybe 500m before you hit the wishing well or so. Really neat climb, and you can choose to take the easy scree slope, or if you like you can take more of a climbing type route. It's a lot of fun to take the climbing type route.
