Our stay ar Riverside Apartment was very relaxing, as the location is excellent: both close to the CBD AND next to the river!! It was a home away from home and very very comfortable and relaxing. The hosts are lovely and very accommodating to any of our needs. If you need to be spoiled and stay in something nicer than a motel room, go and stay at the Riverside Apartment. The walks along the river are lovely anyntime of the day and it is so easy to get into town. Make sure you have time for a walk at Abel Tasman National Park. Either go by bus from Nelson, or further along, and take tye boat to a bay and walk back. A highlight of your visist to the area!
