Nelson Anniversary Day in New Zealand

Nelson Tasman is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, with diverse geography capturing everything from long golden beaches to untouched forests and rugged mountains.

Nelson is named after the British naval commander Horatio Nelson. An English settlement, the city has many names that make a nod to the mother country and to Nelson's sea battles – including Albion Square and Britannia Heights. The main street is Trafalgar Street, after the 1805 battle in which Nelson died.

Nelson and Tasman have very temperate climates with mild winters and warm summers. We do get plenty of crisp frosts in the winter however that usually makes for a great sunny day. We typically get some rain every month of the year although winter does bring more of it.
