Nelson, the beautiful city

Nelson is my second home after Motueka. Nelson is so much warmer compare to others region in South Island, as it has the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand. Even in winter, frosty morning are often followed by sunny days with average of 13 Celsius degree.

Beautiful Maitai River

Along Maitai River, nice place for picnic and ride.

Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson's landmark that build in 18 century. 




South street Gallery, New Zealand's oldest fully preserved street. Cottage dating from 1863 originally built as homes for local tradesmen.



Jens Hansen Gold & Silversmith, the world's famous ringmakers for the Lord of the Rings movie


The Miyazu Garden, is an authentic Japanese stroll garden featuring ponds, stepping stones and traditional teahouse.




Port Nelson, superyacht berth.

The restaurant that offers stunning sea views.

Tahunanui Beach, white sands, gentle waves and spectacular view of Boulder bank, Haulashore island and Fifeshire rock.



Such a beautiful place that make me don't feel like to leave.

  1. Hi Chris, I'm interested in using your photo of Rocks Rd, Tahuhu with Fifeshire Rock on a website as a header on the homepage. Do you have a high res version available. Can you please let me know what you would charge for that. Can you please reply to abbietaylor@xtra.co.nz. Many thanks Abbie
