Nelson

Nelson Tasman has an enviable climate, with a sheltered coastline, and a landscape that ranges from sandy beaches to rugged mountains.

The people of Nelson are proud of their vibrant arts scene, with a year round calendar of events offering celebrations for residents and attractions for visitors.

The climate and lifestyle have historically drawn artists to this region – add the growth in wine-making over recent decades to our famed seafood and fruit, plus our galleries and boutique shops, cafés and restaurants, and you go well beyond what you would normally expect to find in a provincial setting.

With a huge range of outdoor activities, sporting facilities, parks, reserves, beaches and a ski field – they can honestly say there is something here for everyone!
