Driving from Christchurch, NZ, to Wellington, NZ, is complicated by the fact that you must cross the Cook Strait by Ferry. Therefore you must add in the crossing time as well as allow for the ferry schedule, which departs a limited number of times per day. I have driven the other direction comfortably in one day. Google Maps gives the driving time as 10 hours, which seems reasonable, but I don't know how they count the crossing. The ferry terminus on the South Island is at Picton, and driving time from Christchurch to Picton is given as 4:36 minutes. The ferry terminus on the North Island is in Wellington, so the implied time for the Ferry crossing is about 5 1/2 hours. The web site for the Ferry is www.interislander.co.nz and it gives a crossing time of 3 hours, so Google presumably allows some time for making the connection. Be sure to make reservations in advance, they may be necessary and discounts are available for early booking.
