Nelson

Nelson is a great place to stay, summer and winter.

Within the City you may visit museums like the Suter Art Gallery or the Provincial Museum. You may be interested to see the historical buildings in South Street or just go for a short walk up to the Centre of New Zealand. By the way, the walk to the Centre of New Zealand starts at the Botanical reserve where back in May 1870 the first ever New Zealand rugby game took place!

Don’t miss the famous WOW, the World of Wearable Art and classic car museum out in Stoke.

Founders Heritage Park shouldn’t be missed, especially with children.

The Saturday Market at Montgomery Square is a must do at weekends and you will enjoy the colourful atmosphere.

To relax go to the famous and beautiful sandy Tahunanui Beach with it’s play grounds, Natureland Zoo, café and many other attractions.

Nelson has a great climate with lot’s of sunshine hours, the most in New Zealand. That makes the area ideal for growing grapes and produces some of the best wines of the country. You could try them on one of the popular guided wine tours.

All year round a lot is happening in Nelson. Regular events take place nearly every month of the year.

Cable Bay is a beautiful place to go. From here back in the 19^th century the first cable connection between New Zealand and Europe started. Away from the crowd you can kayak, swim, walk or just enjoy a cup of coffee in the little café.

In Nelson there is a huge variety of excellent restaurants for lunch and dinner. Whatever you like, European, Oriental, Seafood, Steaks or just traditional Fish ‘n chips – everything is available. Please ask our friendly staff for some advise or to make a reservation.

Nelson is also a great location to explore the whole top of the South Island (Te Wai Pounamu). Within an hours drive you can reach the Abel Tasman National Park, Kahurangi National Park, Nelson Lakes National Park or the unique Marlborough Sounds. Only two hours away you find the marvelous Golden Bay.

To book any of the activities or find out more you can visit the local i-site or Nelson Escapes at the top of Trafalgar Street or ask the friendly staff at reception of the Harbourside Motor Lodge. We will be glad to help you.
