About Nelson
Nelson is a city-sized region — the smallest lot on the board by land, and one of the sunniest places in the country. It has a working port, a serious seafood industry, and a craft and arts scene that punches well above a city of fifty thousand.
Who a listing on Nelson reaches
A listing on Nelson is read by the people of the city and by visitors who base themselves here for the Abel Tasman and the Nelson Lakes. Seafood exporters, the port, galleries, cafés, accommodation, and the trades working the hill suburbs all sell to that reader.

Boulder BankLandmark
Boulder Bank: 13 km of granodiorite boulders moved down the coast by the sea, sheltering Nelson Haven.
The Cut was blasted through it in 1906 to deepen the port entrance. Its cast-iron lighthouse of 1862 came out from England in pieces.
