Re: Anyone living around Nelson
I have a daughter ( 38) and her husband who have been living in Nelson for about 4 years or so. They love it but it´s not for everyone ( ie it´s REALLY small town life) but on the other hand it does have a climate a bit better than other parts. She tells me it´s also a lot more expensive housing wise than other parts. I´m sure she´d be only too glad to give you whatever info you need. Send me a PM and I´ll give you her email address

Re: Anyone living around Nelson
Hi,
I have been here for 6 years with 2 kids and we love it. Big enough but not too big. One thing to get used to is the isolation,it is 5.5 hours to ChCh or a plane to Welly for anything bigger.
Let me know specifics and I will do my best to answer.
