Motueka, Nelson and New Zealand Links

The Motueka and Nelson regions get more sunshine hours than any in New Zealand, another good reason for choosing this area for your holiday.

Then there's the three National Parks (the Abel Tasman, Kahurangi and Nelson Lakes) with their excellent tramping, whether you want to enjoy a day walk or go for a serious tramp (hike).

The wonderful safe swimming beaches of Kaiteriteri and the Abel Tasman coastline, complete with its marine reserve - great for snorkelling or scuba diving.

Not to mention the talented artists that abound in the Nelson/Tasman regions. And while you're visiting them, why not pop in to one of the vineyards and sample some of the fine wines the area produces? Or if you'd rather, coffee and cake at one of the many cafes.

Then of course there's a selection of golf courses, parachuting, horse riding, motor cycling........the biggest problem will be deciding what to do first!
