Nelson/ Marlborough are the sunniest bits of NZ but they aren't the sunniest & warmest. They are quite cool and windy.
If you want Mediterranean type sun mostly in summer but good lots of other times + warm, too, with a coldish winter, go to Hawke's Bay.
If you want nearly Mediterranean type sun mostly in summer but good lots of other times + warm, too, with mild winter, go to Bay of Plenty.
Where we live in Central Europe it is baking hot & sunny for 5 months (ie 25-35 C), warm/ mild & sometimes overcast for 4 months and cold with plenty of snow & cloud for 3 months, which variety I like a lot - miles better than the UK.
Point being that 'sunniest' does not mean 'pleasantest climate' in NZ for many people.

In anycase unless you are retiring to NZ, i woudl think the employment and housing situation would take priority over climate,scenery and entertainment.
