Put the route into google maps or https://www.aa.co.nz/travel/time-and...ce-calculator/

What time of year are you visiting? (but may be in one of your posts on this topic).
Unless at peak times pre booking not worth the effort & restrictions on the trip. Just go with the flow

Where would you suggest we stretch it out/stay longer to avoid the too-much-driving? I did a similar route myself. Yeah, it's a lot of driving.. but you also get to see a lot!

Obviously the drivers are going to be longer than what gmaps says because of speed but also because we'll stop to take pictures, enjoy the view, etc. etc.
