Nelson offers a number of options for tourists - including the opportunity to climb the hill to the 'Centre of New Zealand'. It is not clear exactly how this is calculated, but the view after the 25 minute climb is spectacular. Our GPS unit recorded the position (WGS84 DATUM) as 41 16' 24.2" S 173 17' 53.9" E. It is well signposted from the outskirts of the city. Another good view - and a slightly easier walk! - can be had from the steps of the cathedral. The museum in the centre of town is modern and well laid out ... though we felt it was a little sterile. BETTERPRICE HOTELS offer a wide range of accommodation options in Nelson and the outskirts. Please use the map above. We enjoyed our visit to the Settlers museum, a museum of transport and social history ( Founder's Historic Park, 87 Atawhai Drive, Nelson). An added attraction is the boutique brewery and cafe within the grounds. The team at BETTERPRICE HOTELS offered themselves up as triallists and sampled the brews, pronouncing the beer most acceptable. Note that if just going in to the cafe or brewery, no museum admission fee is payable. The museum offers a narrow gauge train journey. Nelson is a good stepping off point for the Marlborough vineyards and a number of activities including 4WD and farm-bike excursions, horse-trekking and the like. It is also a good departure point for the Abel Tasman National Park. THE ABEL TASMAN NATIONAL PARK T
