Nelson Tasman Picture Perfect

.... where it is all here, all year!

There's nowhere else in the world where you'll find, within a short distance, three spectacular national parks, glistening golden sand beaches and turquoise crystal clear waters, alongside alpine meadows and snowy mountain ranges. Enjoyable all year as we have a climate that rivals the Mediterranean.

Nelson Tasman National Parks

Nelson Tasman is blessed with three national parks, all within 90 minutes of the city. The popular Abel Tasman National Park entices visitors with its clear sheltered coastline, and the Abel Tasman Coast Track - one of New Zealand's "Great Walks." Nelson Lakes National Park to the south offers an alpine landscape with majestic mountains and lakeside walks. The diverse landscape of the huge Kahurangi National Park, to the west of the region offers remote adventure in a pristine environment, including another of New Zealand's "Great Walks", the Heaphy Track.

Nelson City - a pocket paradise

Nelson - nestled in the top northwest corner of the South Island. A place where you will find artists and craftspeople, Maori marae, alternative communities and adventurers enjoying more sunshine hours than any other region in New Zealand. Home to 26 wineries and a trail of boutique brewers, Nelson is the birthplace of rugby in New Zealand and the World of WearableArt.

Nelson is known for its nucleus of ceramic artists, jewellers, painters, woodworkers, winemakers and others who are 'happy at their work' and ready to welcome you to their place. This might mean a visit to a gallery overlooking the calm waters of an estuary, it might be a chat about the vintage with a world class vintner, a seafood lunch at a waterfront cafe or breakfast on the veranda of a colonial home with hosts who are living their dream.

Even shopping in the city has this air of something special. Find the silversmith who crafted the ring for the "Lord of the Rings" movies, seek out the local designers for a unique take on current fashions, and select unusual jewellery and ceramics to take home.
Nelson is ripe with treasures of all the best kinds. Come and be part of an enviable lifestyle fuelled by fresh food, fine wines, sunshine, and some of the best landscapes nature has to offer.
