Nelson Travel Tips
Nelson travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • The weekend market is nice in Nelson. • Jo E.
  • We camp at Kaiteriteri every summer which is just under an hour away from Nelson and we love to take day trips there to visit the wineries, look at the many arts and crafts and have lunch at our fav restaurant Lambrettas. • Rebecca F.
  • Nelson is a great, laid-back city. Also a good place to start a trip into the Abel Tasman National Park. A shuttle bus will take you from the youth hostel to the trail head. • RuthAnn H.
