Come and enjoy Nelson - the "sunshine capital" of New Zealand! You will discover a paradise here with stunning scenery, a wide choice of outdoor activities as well as a wealth of art and cultural events.
We live on a beautiful, park-like 2 acre property that has a very peaceful, rural feel - yet we are just a 10 minute drive to the centre of Nelson city where you'll find shopping, world famous Markets, great cafés and restaurants, a cinema, theatre and special events every month of the year.
This is a great base for exploring the beautiful Nelson/Tasman/Golden Bay areas. We are also less than a 2 hour drive to Blenheim/Picton and the ferry to the North Island.
We moved to Nelson about 4 years ago and need help developing and maintaining our property.
