Is there enough time during the QF3 stopover at AKL to visit a lounge and if so, which one?

I've only been through AKL once, in 2005 on my first trip (flying NZ in Y).
The transit is 2 hours, and transit protocols in NZ are usually rather efficient, so there will be time for a lounge visit. Gates 8/9/10 are normal for this flight, so you'll have a good chance to stretch your legs.
Should you have the right seat or status, the Qantas Lounge (the illustrious venue of this very thread) will be your destination.
From my most recent visit last month, I didn't have an issue finding it. The AKL Airport site has maps if you're so inclined.
