Nelson Hotels - Reviews and Rates

This morning I woke up in Auckland, this evening, Im in the chilly but refreshing surrounds of the Nelson/Tasman area at Sue & Alex's Behrens. What amazing people! Huge shout out to them for putting me up in their fab house with the coolest fridge ever!
Bought a 1996 Subaru Legacy RS here today, the primary reason for the trip. Car was ch...

Ok so its very quick moving on this Magic bus now, we get to Nelson at 5pm and leave 8am! So we didnt see lots of the town, but we did try, plus it was sunny for the first time in days so we got what we could! So thats it about Nelson, sorry! We get to a place Greymouth, with very little expectation as we have been told that there is nothing the...

Awake to Nelson with the highest recorded days of sunshine in New Zealand, and the day is yours to explore this amazing area. The nearby Abel Tasman National Park offers a journey into a world of native bush greeting golden sands, hidden bays and blue-green clear waters. Explore the park by water taxi*, the ever-popular walking tracks or from th...

Aloha, Been cruising and have not stopped for computer time in a bit. Tiff is here. Our rendevous in Auckland was seemeless. Traveling by car now. What a difference!!! We headed directly out of town to Raglan, a coastal town east of Hamilton. Stayed at a backpackers with heaps of travelers where they had free bikes and kayaks to use. Could've st...

So the job is going well so far! Tomorrow will be my first day on my own so that's exciting! I'll be working from 8-2:30. I have today off so last night I went to a bar called Stingrays with 2 guys from the hostel (Teddy and Brady) The bar was pretty sweet! Very laid back crowd with live music. Gotta cut my update short because in about 4 hours ...

Drove up the road about an hour and picked up a water taxi that dropped us a half hour by boat north along the coast. This is Abel Tasman Park, well renowned for its beauty. Walked the coastal trek which lived up to expectations, however, there were not a lot of opportunities to take a break, picnic, etc. so we arrived at Torrent Bay, our destin...

Still struggling with this website. Trying hard to upload some photos!!! First impressions?...... Where is everybody! The place seems to be empty. Very few cars on the road once out in the country and with a maximum speed limit of 100kms (60mph) driving around seems quite sedate. That said, the Kiwis have a terrible road safety record although I...

Nelson, an actual town rather than a village! It's a little bit of shock when you come to New Zealand. I think there population is about 6 million, with 5 million of that on the North Island. That means that everything is rather small on the south island, and takes a little getting used to!! But nelson is a bustling little town, with plenty of t...

Golden bay After one of the nicest ferry crossings, through the malborough sounds and a bit of a drive, arrived at Nelson. Pretty chilled out place which had a Jazz festival on for the week. So stayed there for a few days just doing nothing much! Met up with a cool girl from Donegal in Nelson so the two of us decided to head for the Golden bay, ...

hallo liebe Liebenden, da waer ich wieder. Nach paar schoenen Landstrichen und Serpentinen weiter kommen wir in ein kleines pitoreskes Oertchen mit viel viel Weinanbau. Sieht ziemlich englisch aus. Alles im alten Stil(wenn man 80-100 Jahre alt nennen kann)mit vielen Blumen. Und Palmen- Nelson ist der waermste Ort NZ. Macht netten Eindruck. Als i...
