I've never been to New Zealand, and I don't know what kind of places you looked at here in Qatar, but as compared with Europe, the U.S. and of course, most parts of Asia, it's well more expensive on most counts!
Well, apart from fuel :)
If you looked only at mall eateries that are mostly American fast food chains and other little outlets, sure, you won't spend too much on eating out. But for a nice meal, you definitely will!
And have you looked at the rents? Doesn't matter if your company's paying for it, they're still atrocious!
