That is a tough one, but I think Matakauri wins out for choice of activities and dining, if you have to chose. If someone can only make one stop in New Zealand, Queenstown really is the place to be. It is quite convenient too with being only 10-15 minutes from town.
I love, love New Zealand and I don't think 4 nights is anywhere close to enough, so I think if you can extend, then don't hesitate to do it. Both parts of NZ have much to offer.
