Yeah my 2E powered Corolla can get to Blenheim in 3.5 hours with one quick pit stop. Add an easy 0.5 hour to Picton.

6-6.5 hours depending on what traffic you hit leaving chch and entering dunedin. maybe 7 hours if you get a bad run.

Last couple of times I was through there Ch Ch -Picton one trip took me just under 4.75 hours with a stop in Kaikoura was a leisurely speed in a reasonably powerful car. The second trip was the next day after bringing a car back over on an evening Interislander sailing after collecting it in Wellington. Set off from Picton real early and was in the Christchurch area about 4 hours later (bypassed Christchurch by going the highway 72 scenic route south from Amberley) got home Alexandra 9.75 hours after leaving Picton -2 stops on way Oxford ( exactly 4 hours after leaving Picton)for 15min lunch break and Lake Pukaki for a 10min stretch then home. Hardly any traffic on the road that day plus nice still & clear weather it was, I must say which was great. It's a big drive though but enjoyed every minute of it.

Off the ferry about 7pm and the trip to Chch 4 hours 35 minutes with a loaded racecar trailer attached, towing with Volkswagen W8. Only thing that overtook me the whole trip was the CourierPost truck. S/he was flying along & I couldnt keep up. I pretty much stayed between 95-105kms the whole way
Daytime trips tend to be 4 hours Chch to Blenheim and then another 25 minutes to Picton
