Nelson is a great city to relax in with plenty to offer - sunshine, art, wine
and adventure make Nelson a lifestyle mecca with year round holiday ambience. Sip a latte at a
street café, enjoy fine dining, soak up the atmosphere at the Nelson markets, explore artist
galleries or visit Richmond - the pulse of Tasman, for shopping and dining, nearby picnic spots
and rivers.
Surrounded by some of the finest beaches in New Zealand and with more sunshine than any other
part of the country, it's not surprising that Nelson is a popular holiday area.
To the west is the Nelson region with great tramping possibilities in the Northwest, Nelson Forest
Park, Nelson Lakes National Park and the splendid Abel Tasman National Park.
