Day 6 will be very long. What ferry departure time have you looked at ?
Day 6 could be Drive Greymouth-Nelson, fly NSN-WLG-ROT (if flights time are OK)
But the ferry trip is good
Day 7 Drive Wellington-Rotorua has not much to see / experience
Most rentals cars cannot be taken on the ferry. You drop off /pick up at the terminals
Be aware driving times are long for the distance in Kiwiland. Most of your roads will be slow (45-50-55 mph). single lane. You currently have many many hours driving: take some flights is my opinion
Thanks, all good points. I think we might look into some flights, that is good to know. Re: rental car, we would return the car in Picton and then get another one in Wellington, the following day. The ferry departure time I'd seen was ~230pm arriving in Wellington ~530pm.
The trip is in March.
