Some of our favourite Nelson places
Sightseeing
Walk along the Maitai river from the start of the walkway near Riverside Cafe or start at the bridge on the corner of Nile St & Domett St. There is also parking at the swimming holes along Maitai Valley Road. The swimming holes are great during summer. The walk is beautiful all year round with many deciduous trees. Walk back to Botanic Sports Field over the Botanical Hill tracks (Centre of NZ tracks).

Great dog friendly beach. When entering the beach car park drive further down beach past Nature Land, the water park and Beach Cafe. park in the car park next to the skate rink. Lovely long stretch of tidal beach. Great for swimming in summer too, gets less crowded than the main beach.

Start of the Abel Tasman National Park. About 1 hours drive from Nelson. A lovely place in its own right, tidal beaches, nice places to eat. We really like staying at the cabins at The Barn campground (dog friendly).
