The normal comments apply
- Trying to do too much in not many days. No contingency for delays. A lot in 16 days. Even though you have planned to be in same place for 2 ~3 nights. You are in NZ for break: not continuous hard work.
- Driving immediately after a long flight is not recommended. Especially if you are not used to right hand drive.
- It takes longer to drive between destinations than you think. Gmaps is OK, but does does not allow time for stops to look at view, shorts walks, long lunches etc
- Day 10 you could continue on to overnight in Wanaka. Shorter drive the next day
- Some day/days it will rain. That's why NZ and the West Coast in particular is green. Will slow you down and/or you will not be able to do some activities on the minute/hour/day as planned (Looks like you have planned to the minute)
- Some walks/hikes may need to be booked with DOC. (I have not checked your hikes)
- You do not state time of year, but at times roads on the coast can be closed due to weather. Has happened more than usual in the last year
- Depending on time of year and how much money you want to spend accommodation may be hard (or easy?) to get
Several other threads about trips to NZ in the last year or so
