For a small place, Nelson offers a lot. We’re nestled between the Tasman Bay and the Tasman Mountains, and we boast the sunniest place in New Zealand. Nelson is known for it’s love of the arts and nature, with plenty of galleries, a heritage village, bike and hiking trails, lush parks, river and ocean walks, great food, and beautiful beaches. You can walk to the center of New Zealand and visit a wildlife sanctuary all within the Nelson area. And there’s plenty to see and do around the Top of the South Island on the weekends or in your downtime from your course. The sunsets here are pretty great, too.
