Christchurch over Arthur’s Pass to the West Coast and the glaciers, through Haast Pass to Wanaka and Queenstown, south to Te Anau for Milford Sound, then back north past Aoraki/Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo to Christchurch. Ten days is the honest minimum; with seven or fewer, fly out of Queenstown and skip the West Coast.

Base in central Queenstown for the lake, gondola and nightlife, add a day or overnight to Glenorchy and Arrowtown for the gold-rush and mountain scenery, and give a full day to Milford Sound even though it is a long drive.
