Around Nelson







We chose to settle in the Nelson area even before we left England.   We liked the idea of living close to beautiful beaches and having easy access to mountains and national parks.  Nelson also seemed to offer a nice climate and a laid back bohemian culture, being home to a large artistic community.   We have not been disappointed.  We had intended to travel far and wide when we arrived, but there are so many lovely places on our doorstep there hasn't been any need to travel more than two hours in any direction.  We are planning a road trip in the near future though, the aim is to travel  down to Invercargill along the West Coast and return through Christchurch on the East Coast - watch this space!
