Shane,
We must have stopped at the same places for pictures as most of mine look just like yours. What a great place for motorcycling! In 2003 we did a Beach tour through Te Waipounamu, maybe you were there, and really enjoyed the country. Someday we would like to return for a longer stay.
The only downer was the day after we left, one of our tour members was killed in a head on.
Some of my pictures are here;
