Our stay at KeiteriTeri Reserve Apartments was absolutely fantastic! The apartments were impeccably clean and modern, with stunning views of the beach right from our windows and balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. We loved the convenience of being right on the beach, and we'll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family.

Everything! Warm welcome and a great room. Enjoyed sitting out on the patio and the kitchen was well-equipped and very clean. A filtered water tap and the dishwasher were added bonuses. Also the make-up mirror and heat lamps in the bathroom. Short walk to the Cathedral and city center.

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.

Kaiteriteri is a beautiful seaside village in the northern part of the South island of NZ. It forms part of the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Which is a beautiful unspoilt area of NZ.There are lots of boat tours leaving from Kaiteriteri which provide a large choice of walks or scenic boat tours of the national park. Well worth a visit to this beautiful national park.

We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman track. It is a small township, and we enjoyed walking down to the bay for the sunset. We had chosen the Aqua taxi to transport us up to the start of our walk, and enjoyed the efficiency and novelty of that experience. Just a warning to other travellers, By mid May, the little township is settling in for the ‘off’ season, which means that there are fewer grocery and eating options. We had been forewarned and had collected groceries at Motueka.

Takaka is a fantastic location that gives good access to beaches all around the area, and the lovely Pupu Springs and Farwell Spit. The people in the town were lovely and friendly. We had the best vegetarian burgers, even better than our Ferg burgers from Queenstown! We all felt so safe and just enjoyed our time there. The drive over the Takaka Hill was a great experience, both in the misty rain and in beautiful sunshine.

Collingwood and out lying areas have some spectacular scenery with very unique environments not found in other places of the world. If you want to learn some history about early NZ, this little place has bits of information signposted everywhere so forget about guessing who found the place or what kept the inhabitants there. Even the journey there from Nelson was interesting with multiple towns and side trips like Mapua, the entrance to the Abel Tasman Track, Kaiteriteri Beach, Pohara and Waipupu Springs walk which was wonderful, just to mention a couple of things we did.

We love this beach - especially in winter! It is also very close to some special places - Tata and Ligar Beaches, the Wainui Falls, the Grove Reserve and more - always something new to discover. Molly Bs is to be reccommended…and the cafes of Takaka are not far away.
