NELSON
From the northern end of the Southern Alps to stunning beaches, the Nelson area offers plenty to experience.
Consistently offering the highest sunshine in the country, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the unique lifestyle that Nelson has to offer.
Nelson’s economy is based mainly around seafood (with Port Nelson being the biggest fishing port in Australasia), and is known throughout NZ for its thriving art culture and numerous award winning wineries.
A visit to the area would not be complete without visiting one of the many galleries or watching master glass blowers practice their craft. Why not indulge in fishing, tramping, skydiving, sailing or one of the many other activities this town has to offer.
