The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and various other smaller ones - along with Maori culture and a touch of urban cosmopolitanism in cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. And of course let's not forget Hobbiton!

Singing and romancing on cold nights sitting around the fireside, staring on the stars in silent surroundings listening to the sounds of little creatures, basking on the lavish mattress, all that makes you dream to discover what camping in the glorious destinations of the world means. Morocco was the first place where I got the idea to experience the difference of international "glamping" -…

My deepest sympathy for ALL Kiwis, Clients, and friends from yesterday's Eathquake in Christchurch. God Bless. Our condolances directly to CHC.
The Kiwi's will rebuild and be stronger. This is such a wonderful country that invites the world to share in their warmth. The best thing that we can all do, is to help by promoting travel to NZ.
Tim here from the Baywick Inn in Nelson NZ at the top of the South Island
a great stopping off point before you start you trip down south .. We have lots to see and do here including the amazing Abel Tasman Park , where you can walk the trail, kayak or just enjoy the golden sand beaches
Welcome to the Baywick Inn, a heritage luxury Nelson bed and breakfast.
This 1885 elegantly restored Victorian bed and breakfast offers:
all for an affordable price.
New in 2010 is our ‘Victorian’ designed Cottage, using many of the ‘original Inn's’ features. It is located in the Brookside garden, just steps away from the main house. Here we have two very special, luxurious queen guest rooms, the Courtyard Suite and Brookview. Guests staying in the Cottage join us for gourmet breakfasts in the main dining room of the inn.
The Baywick Inn is located in a quiet garden setting along the Maitai River, and is only a 10 minute walk to the central city to some of Nelson's best restaurants and cafes as well as many artists studios, shops and other Nelson attractions.
It is only a short drive to visit local wineries and for day trips to Abel Tasman National Park.
Come and enjoy all that sunny Nelson has to offer and stay at the charming 4 Plus Star Qualmark rated Baywick Inn B&B Nelson.
Over the years one of the major comments from guests is: "if only we had known there was this much to see and do in Nelson,we would have planned to stay longer."
To this end we have given you an idea of what to do for a 3 night/2 day stay in Nelson. Nelson makes a great 'base' in which to enjoy the whole Nelson/Tasman district and also it is only just over an hour to Marlborough New Zealand's biggest wine region
