I can tell you lots of places to go and things to see. Sadly I can't comment on the climbing though.

I'm gonna be in NZ from Feb-Jun, lookin to climb sport and trad, preferrably. bouldering is just okay.
I'll probably be living in Christchurch.
let me know if you come down to the region.

christchurch is a s good a place a sany to base yourself. local crags for the trad and bouldering. easy enough to get to the mountains for the bigger stuff.
get hold of 'south island rock' http://www.southislandrock.co.nz/
as a guide book. should give you a better idea of what to do cragging wise.
