Something like rotten rock or track rock would be a reasonably cheap option that could do the job, but you'd have to investigate what's available in your area. Transport costs can destroy the economics if you have to truck it too far.

Welcome to the forum.

If you intend staying there for a long time, doing a good job from the start will save a lot of trouble and expense in the long term. There's a driveway I've been watching for a few years now, just along Ruaroa Road, on the right, which goes quite steeply up a hill. It seems to have been formed very well and is holding up even through some pretty nasty wet winters. I noted who constructed it at the time. I don't know that the company would be the cheapest, but that the driveway is still in good nick is a good indication of their skills and work.

I also know some good local fencers. PM me for all details!

As Ruth says, do a good job if you have the driveway in the best position. Our driveway used to serve a rural airstrip, so I thought that it was pretty good. Even so I had to grade and re-gravel it quite often. Then I put in 5 culverts along the 500 meters, and that has made a huge difference. Unfortunately the power and the telephone lines go up the drive, so I was not able to put them in deeply enough. It will be interesting to see what happens to these culverts when the timber is taken out from up the back of the property.

well, it all depends on the terrain? If it is flat, there is a cheap product called "track maintenance" that you can get trucked in and spread. If it is a bit hilly, avoid any product that contains "rounds" or pebbles, go for crushed aggregate as this will give you more grip.
I would contact a trucking company and get a quote. Sounds like an expensive exercise to get one K done as a proper driveway! Truckies can put a 44gal drum in the back of the truck and tip out two strips of aggregate, this is the cheapest option.
