Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The colonial towns of NZ all seem to be blessed with beautiful gardens, and Nelson is no exception. A lake full of aquatic birds is a highlight, as is a small Chinese garden. Well worth and hour of your time.

Located on the edge of downtown Nelson, is a beautifully maintained garden with many Japanese bridges and pagodas. Ducks meander in the adjoining rivers. A very peaceful setting that was busy with couples and groups picnicking and sitting in abundant chairs and benches. A reat place for a leisurely walk and calming afternoon.

Lovely small park built around a horseshoe lake with lots of shaded seating to have lunch on, catch up with friends etc. A few small sculptures and a cafe in the corner. Worth stopping by if you are in the area.

Really enjoyed the Queens Gardens. Beautiful set up, amazing rose garden near the pond and shady corners avaiable when it gets too hot.

These are smallish gardens but we spent a couple of hours exploring its nooks and crannies. Open 24 hours a day except for the Chinese section. We went back a few times during our time in Nelson. A lot is packed in all served up with well placed and interesting info boards. I particularly enjoyed the peaceful Chinese section but the water features, huge and small trees, wild areas, well-managed areas and the birds mean that there is something here for everyone to enjoy.

Worth the walk to explore this lovely classic garden. Have to return to explore the cafe that borders it in the art gallery.

Love these gardens, they have improved over the years. I love that they are quite compact but really stunning. We particularly loved the Chinese gardens.

If you are visiting or live in Nelson, I would recommend a stroll through these gardens either before or after enjoying lunch at the Suter Cafe and visiting the Gallery. A quiet and peaceful haven within a city is always welcome.
