just to share my experience, i did exactly same as you. fly to auckland drive to queenstown, (ferry from north to south island) 3000km in total.
average we drive 300km per day! tiring! especially the driver, kesian. but if you let me choose again, i would do the same.  biggrin.gif

you must try these 2, all taken by my iPhone, direct from native camera, no modification been done
Te Anau - Milford Sound not bad (if you driving to Te Anau, pump petrol @ Mossburn)

comparing west coach drive vs ocean scenic drive @tasmania... tasmania wins  hand down
