one of the most beautiful places in the world! close to abel tasman nationalpark with its beautiful beaches!! the nature around there is just gorgeous!

Three national parks, gorgeous beaches, great art galleries, fantastic restaurants, friendly people and a sun-drenched, flower-strewn city. After a few days of holiday, we've decided to move here permanently!! You'll love Nelson!!!!!!!!!!

Nelson was the highlight of our New Zealand vacation!! We stayed in a "Nelson Holiday House" right in the city centre and walked everywhere...it was great!.. The owner was available to help with questions about the area, but left us the privacy we so needed! We went kayaking, "tramping", sailing, paragliding, horseback riding ...

My wife and I have travelled all over the world for the past 5 years and nothing gets me day dreaming about past adventure like New Zealand s does. Nelson has to be one of the top 5 spots within NZ. Beaches, moutians, quaint little nieghborhoods, nicest people going (And everyone speaks english! Big plus), and great seafood. Nelson and all of New Zealand is a must for anyone. There is truely something for everyone in NZ.
