Hey man, I think your best bet would be to fly to Jakarta from NZ (what city in NZ are you from?) then buy air ticket from Jakarta to Padang, West Sumatra (Jakarta has the most daily flights to Padang). From there you have to go on a 90 mile trip by boat to Mentawai. Go here for more info:

You can send private message if you need more info. I can ask people I know on Mentawai.

I'm going up Nias way in a few days via KL.
So that's Sydney to Kuala Lumpur, and then KL - Padang. That's with Malaysian Airlines to KL and Air Asia to Padang
