I think Riverhead may be better if you're after jumps etc, but I haven't ridden either in several years. If you feel like venturing further north we have some cool "oldschool" singletrack in Whangarei, and the new Waitangi mountain bike park is well worth a visit. Flick me a PM or get in touch via the Whangarei Mountain Bike Club facebook page if you feel like a roadtrip some time.
In my opinion the "new" Woodhill trails are much better. Basically as it's in a commercial forest, all of the old trails have been logged. The new trails are more compact but much more fun, there's some reasonable elevation and some really fun downhills.
One Night Stand is kind of bike park, more fun the faster you go
Release Valve is a little old school, rougher
Booty Call is a mix of the two
I've been riding out there for about 10 years and I think the new trails are much better, no more hucks to flat and almost no sand. Not a patch on Rotorua or Taupo (Craters of the Moon) but still really enjoyable.
Yep if you're there in the weekend and middle of the day it is pretty busy, like any trail. I'm usually out there pretty early, it's a good time to really pin it.
