We are planning to set off at 6.30am at the Park to catch the 2.30pm ferry from Wellington to Picton. We were wondering how the road conditions are and whether we would be able to make it in time for the ferry. Appreciate it if someone could advise. Thank you. Regards, Siliang (Singapore)

No advertising please.......................there are many good car rental companies in New Zealand so be sure to have a look on the internet.

Nice scenery though! You could do it in that time but it usually takes me longer - maybe I drive slow!
