NELSON CITY
LOCATED NEAR THE TOP of
the south island, Nelson is a
city bordered by sea, rugged
bush-clad valleys and a fertile
hinterland of pastures and
orchards. Visitors to this
scenic region will also discover
mountains dotted with alpine
lakes and spectacular national
parks.
Here there is the joy of trekking
through pristine rainforest,
the buzz of tandem skydiving,
four-wheel drive trips and
whitewater rafting tempered
with the relaxing pastimes of
wine and craft trails.
The beautiful scenery and views
of Tasman Bay can be enjoyed
from the newly developed
Nelson waterfont where you
can take a stroll and watch
the yacht racing, kayaking
and boats lap up the Nelson
sunshine.
The region has long enjoyed
a reputation as a centre
for painters, potters, glass
blowers, jewellers and other
craftspeople. Their work can
be seen and purchased at the
many studios in Nelson city
and around the region.
Colourful street stalls also
expand into outdoor markets
at the weekend. Open every
day, begin your exploration of
the artistic riches of Nelson at
The Suter Te Arotai o Whakatu,
founded in 1898 and set in
