With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Nelson, 35 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Trafalgar Park, Christ Church Cathedral and Tahunanui Beach Reserve. Situated 35 miles away, Richmond is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Richmond Mall, Greenmeadows Park and World of Wearable Art and Collectable Cars.
