Nelson stands on the edge of the beautiful Tasman Bay, on the top of the South Island of New Zealand.
Many people believe Nelson has the best climate in New Zealand, in that it regularly tops the national statistics for sunshine hours, with an annual average total of over 2400 hours.
Nelson Province has beaches and a sheltered harbour. The harbour entrance is protected by a natural breakwater known as The Boulder Bank, which also reduces the effects of the tide on Nelson city's beach, Tahunanui. This allows for some of the safest sea bathing in the country.
Nelson is surrounded by mountains on three sides with Tasman Bay to the north-west. The city serves as the gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park, the Kahurangi National Park, and Rotoiti and Rotoroa in the Nelson Lakes National Park. It is a centre for both ecotourism and adventure tourism, and has a strong reputation among caving enthusiasts due to several prominent cave systems around Takaka Hill and Mount Owen.
The marker at the "Centre of New Zealand", the geographical "Centre of New Zealand" allegedly lies in Nelson; on a hilltop suspiciously convenient to the centre of the city. This supposed "centre" in fact simply marks the point deemed the "centre" for the purposes of early geographical surveys. The true geographical centre lies in a patch of unremarkable dense scrub in a forest on the Spooner Range near Tapawera, 35 kilometers southwest of Nelson.
As you arrive in Nelson find the Cathedral (on the hill at the end of Trafalgar Street). It's the tallest building in town, you can't miss it. Head towards the Cathedral hill and you are heading towards Accents on the Park.
We are on the eastern side of the Cathedral Park, on Trafalgar Square.
If you are arriving by bus, ask your bus driver to drop you at our bus stop on the corner of Trafalgar Square & Selwyn Place.
If you forget, we are just 5 minutes walk from Bridge Street Bus station and we'll even come and pick you up if you let us know when you're arriving.
All airport shuttles pick-up and drop off at our door.
If you have any difficulty locating us on your map, just give us a call when you get to town and we will give you directions.
