I agree that's way too short of a connection to a different airline on a separate ticket. OP could have stayed in a hotel within walking distance of AKL airport for under $100 USD which is a drop in the bucket for the cost of a trip to New Zealand.

To the original poster -- did you ask Air New Zealand if they could place you on standby to Dunedin after missing your original flight?
