Had intended to visit Farewll Spit but disappointed to find that it involved a day trip and you could not use your own vehicle...tour bus only. This means you need to stay close to Collingwood or face a very long day to catch the tour bus. Would recommend the trip from Nelson to Collingwood but allow 2 - 3 days for that alone. We stopped at most townships & included the Pou Pou fresh water lake. Well worth the visit. Went to the market in Motueka. Had a pizza & coffee for lunch. Can I just say a m a z i n g!!! Best I have had in years.

I love Nelson.

I love Nelson. Stayed out near Tahuna Didn't visit the city, but the area around Tahunanui has good restaurants and bars and the beach and surrounds are lovely and relaxing. Good spot. I also visited the classic car museum. If this is your thing, it is $20 well spent.

there primarily for work but scored a bonus free day when planes were cancelled and i finally had a chance to see a little more. Nelson is a very pretty and varied city with good shops, lots of beautiful art, parks and gardens. the wider area has miles of coast and water to explore, as well as rugged wild walks nearby.

Nelson is my favorite place to go to.

Nelson is my favorite place to go to. I traveled up from Christchurch to collect a new car and was able to spend the day and night wandering around the city. My go to place is the Cathedral, steeped in history and with stunning really old trees. Lit two candles for my loved ones, gave a donation for the beautiful buildings' upkeep and soak up the spiritual atmosphere. Able to sit on the grass under a Black gum which was huge, relax and enjoy the smell of the pines. Fabulous food trucks and cafes. Easy to walk around, just a fabulous place. I would highly recommend it.

Great place to stay in Nelson and not far from the main sights to see. The hotel was able to arrange a driver for me to pick me up and drop me off at the airport/hotel. I was there for a wedding so they went the extra mile and i could use the driver to pick me up and drop me off from the wedding. Great stay and great room, loved the bath !
