This allowed for one night at each stop but did not include staying in Hanmer Springs as this is a destination visited on previous occasions (at 90mins from ChCh it is R&R for us.)
Distance traveled 864 Km ... plus the odd bit of meandering and off the record shopping , eating etc.
Doesn't allow for GPS detours....
