Much of the west coast is pitch black, but often cloudy. It's on the "wrong" side of the Southern Alps, copping heavy orographic rainfall for much of the year. That said, on clear nights the views are amazing.

To be brutally honest, unless you're into tramping/hiking or climbing, it would be difficult to keep most adults entertained there for 5 or 6 days, letalone small children. It's a beautiful place but the options are somewhat limited (in my personal opinion).
