Haulashore Island Ferry
Just down the road from our house you can jump on the ferry, tootle over to the Nelson Boulder Bank and visit the lighthouse. You can get to the top as they lend you a key.
Walks
There are many fabolous walks around the waterfront hillside or to the Centre of New Zealand. Walking from our house, it is about 35 minutes into town and about 25 minutes to Tahunanui Beach.

There are 3 good golf courses in Nelson, apparently the best is the 18 hole Nelson Golf Club close to the airport and there is a 9 hole up the Matiai Valley called Waihi Taakaro. Greenacres Golf Course is at Best Island, close to Richmond.
