5-7 day tramp suggestions please!

I was going to say Kahurangi; Mt Arthur, tablelands, Cobb. You do quite a nice circuit there from Flora and cover a whole lot of huts. I'm planning something along those lines later this year... Bit of the TA perhaps? St James?

Cheers Jet. Yeah, there are some juicy sections of TA, but I want to crunch the South Island in one hit. St James is definitely a goer, but there's no way my friend can join me in the middle. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I can smash out St James in pretty quick time, so it may still be feasible to do St James Wednesday to Friday, then meet up with Ag Friday arvo for a weekend jaunt, before maybe knocking off another track, perhaps Goat Pass. What do I love most about NZ? The options for adventure are literally ENDLESS! :D

Lewis Pass -> Waiau -> Blue Lakes is a 4 - 5 day trip in Nelson Lakes NP. If your lady friend is going I would have to say that it is pretty hard going, but if shes quite fit then id give it a go

She's probably fitter than I am. :D Actually, I've changed my tactic. Too hard to find something really enjoyable whilst having to account for her tagging along for a couple of days in the middle. So I'm shifting my leave a couple of days right, and extending it to two weeks. So I'll have Friday to meet up with her (I'm in Greymouth, she's in Timaru), a couple of days tramping with her (I'm now thinking the Mount Cook area, Ball Hut etc), then she can go home and I'll shoot down to Fiordland and sneak in a couple of the Great Walks before the season opens. Been 13 years since I've been to Fiordland, and I didn't get to do any walking whilst I was there. I'll have 10 days, plus 1 day to travel home (LONG drive Fiordland to Greymouth)! But that's ok. I did do a day trip from Greymouth to Farewell Spit and back on Monday. ;) (And no, I didn't speed. With a passenger-endorsed licence, I can't afford to).
