Nelson Vacation Guide

Set in the absolute centre of New Zealand, Nelson is a Cathedral city, and is dominated by the beautiful Church at the top of the hill on the end of Trafalgar Street, the paved main street, this street is lined with mature trees and hanging baskets of the most beautiful flowers hang from the veranda, festooning the pavement. There are many great cafes and bars with seating on the curbside to enjoy the sunshine. The drinking culture is kept happy with the large range of night clubs and bars, most with good live bands, plenty of poker machines and great crowds of the fun types.

There is a very active port where logs are chipped and transported overseas. Unfortunately there are also tidal water flats that are left high and dry with each tidal change, but this is still a very attractive city.

Tahuna Beach with its clean white sand, is only a short drive away with excellent swimming and a sandy beach.
