Beaches Nelson is 5 minutes’ drive from Nelson Golf Links, Nelson Airport and Central Nelson. The famous Christ Church Cathedral are each a 10-minute drive away. This is an ideal base for whn you are walking the iconic Abel Tasman track. Our stay at Beaches Nelson was just perfect. We wanted to relax after a long drive from Christchurch and this was just the place to do that. The beach and other convenient stores/restaurants within walking distance. The bed was soooo comfy and this was the best sleep I’ve had since been in New Zealand. I cannot recommend this place enough.
