Physician in NZ

[saa]

I have a job opportunity (physician) to work in NZ. I need to do this as I am reaching 6 years limit on my H-1.
The pay is about 50,000 US dollars per year, and apartment and car will be paid by employer.
Is this a good deal in terms of NZ?
I know nothing about NZ, any input will be very appreciated.

Pay will be around $1,00,000 in NZ money equivalent to $50,000 US dollars.
So if money is not the issue, would you recommend going to NZ say may be for 1 year, and then returning back to the US. (My h-1 6 years limit is fast approaching).
