Nelson Airport is located just six kilometres outside the city of Nelson, which is New Zealand’s second oldest settled city. The region is renowned for its unparallelled natural beauty, with diverse landscapes including golden beaches and turquoise waters, as well as pristine forests and rugged mountains.
Pick up your rental car from the airport terminal and head inland to Takaka. Here you can marvel at the clean, clear, crystal waters of New Zealand’s largest freshwater springs. After, head for the aptly named Golden Bay where you’ll encounter an enviable beach, complete with rich, golden sands.
For the more energetic and adventurous, why not set out to walk the Abel Tasman Track. With guided and unguided treks available, this adventure takes between three and five days to complete. The scenery and the wildlife make for an unmissable adventure.
If you’re looking for some wining and dining – then try out Tasman’s Great Taste Trail where you can sample some of the region’s finest food and wine.
Whatever you chose to do, your Hertz rental car will get you there.
