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.

    Absolutely worth visiting this car museum. Amazing cars. But the whole experience has been curated with expertise. On top of the museum experience the coffee and breakfast were also 5 star.

    We were glad to be in Nelson to enjoy the Saturday Market. We walked through the food and craft vendors. My husband bought a leather wallet. There was tasty Paella and bratwurst.

    20mins uphill to get to the top but well worth the views
    Great to stand in the centre of NZ and sit on the chairs and get breath back and take it all in

    This is a super pleasant park to stroll around. We did it at dusk one day when it was getting hard to see and even then it seemed special. We returned in the morning and had a great time strolling around. Bonus: there's a lovely cafe integrated in one corner of the park.

    Awesome museum. Great value for money. Lovely to wonder around the streets and learn about local history through the buildings.

    Really good for kids. The Kea, Morepork and baby meerkats are really good. Everything very clean and knowledgeable keepers. I would have liked to hear more about their breed for release programs

    An expansive flat sandy beach. I wish I'd had the opportunity to have more swims there. Clear and clean.

    This a fantastic beach , we walk up and down this spotless beach.
    It’s absolutely a magic place and so very natural.
    Dogs are not allowed ..
    Just a wee drive away from Nelson , but not very well advertised…
    It’s so worth a walk and swim.

    While visiting Nelson we paid a visit to The Theatre Royal, the New Zealand’s oldest wooden theater. Originally built in 1878 by a company of Oddfellows, out of rough sawn planks from local timber, only later a corrugated iron roof was added. Today the theater has just been given a face lift and restored to its former glory. As 140 years of wear and tear takes its toll. The auditorium has been reinstated and the original hand-painted wallpaper was uncovered, so new hand-made paper was made to match the original Victorian pattern. Unfortunately, there was no production the week we visited, but we were allowed to look round the inside. The Theatre is multipurpose facility capable of configurations for cabaret and concert style performance events. With a bar large reception foyer and ample parking. We were just sorry we did not get to see a show.

    TIP" Check them out on the internet as they have some great shows for a small town.

    From the moment we arrived before opening time the staff were amazing. Very friendly welcoming and helpful. The ride was tough up to lookout but worth the sweat and pain. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a mtb challenge to test their limits. Thanks to Richard and all staff

    What an awesome experience! Free tour given by a funny, knowledgeable, and engaging host that was very informative on not only how they resource, produce, and sell their peanut butter but also history on how the company came to fruition and how they strive to be a sustainable business in today's world. My kids loved trying all the samples and seeing the machinery in action. My husband and I enjoyed the details regarding their production processes. We also grabbed a bite to eat in the cafe which was good albeit spendy for what it is.
