Nelson

Picture the perfect day with your pup and we bet it includes a trip to the beach. 

So if you don’t know your drop kick from your dropout, don’t worry, you can still get some skin in the game.

Nelson is spoilt for choice when it comes to the cafe scene, with every establishment offering something different in this vibrant little city.
