It's always a matter of checking visas & how you can get them, but you also should check yourself. The reason you have for staying isn't a particularly compelling one, and if you don't like it here you're locked in to a university degree that is probably inflexible in transferring credit back to your home country.
You can stay in NZ up to 12 months after graduation, I believe (can't find mention on the Immigration website, just from Chinese friends), to find work.
Another thing is, you will need to show evidence of $10k per year to support yourself for the length of your program.
So, I don't really believe that you'll be able to save that in time, and even if, this is barely better than indulging some travel wannabee who wants to escape whatever imaginary crisis is befalling them.
But, to humour you, if you want to do engineering, the greatest amount of employers, and one of the better schools, are in the Christchurch area. Otago may be an attractive option for the student life, but has nothing else going for it. Wellington and Auckland are fine choices, as is Palmerston North, only the latter has fewer job opps.
