Let us take you for a short walk into town:
on our way we cross the Maitai River and walk along Bridge Street, passing the beautiful Queens Gardens adjacent to the Suter Gallery with its permanent exhibitions of local artists.We reach Trafalgar Street, the main shopping street in Nelson with friendly cafes and alfresco seatings.
To the left there is Nelson Cathedral and the Provincial Museum, to the right the City Council with the Post Office on the ground floor, and the Information Centre on the banks of the Maitai River.
Just follow Bridge Street for another 100 meters and there is the bus depot.
Still not tired after exploring the city centre? Just drop off your purchases at your room and go for a hike up to the top of the Centre of New Zealand which offers beautiful views over the harbour, Boulder Bank, Tasman Bay, Able Tasman National Park, the Western Ranges, the town and the surrounding hills.

If that sounds too hard, why not start right at our doorstep for a nice stroll along the lovely Maitai River. Besides all the other comforts Sunflower Cottage is also well prepared for visitors who require wheelchair access.
