Nelson and Picton
Nelson is a city on the eastern shores of Tasman Bay established in 1841, it is the second oldest settled city in New Zealand and the oldest in the South Island. The nearby Abel Tasman National Park attracts hikers and offers golden sandy beaches, rocky outcrops and well kept paths to enjoy it all. We enjoyed the small town of Nelson as well as the surrounding wine region.
