We have a depth of local knowledge; James, Richard or I will be able to advise and direct guests to the huge variety of treasures this region offers, including award winning restaurants on the waterfront, within a few minutes walk from "39 Russell".

There is also a complimentary Nelson Art guide book which will direct you to:

• WOW - "The World of Wearable Art and Collectable and Vintage Car Museum"
• The Suter Art Gallery
• Hoglund Glass (where they can see the art-works being made)
• the "Saturday Market", where the locals stroll, shop and have a social catch-up every Saturday morning
• our beautiful sandy beaches and unspoiled, magnificent National Parks (accessible by boat or helicopter which we will arrange on request).

Jane continues to enjoy being available - by appointment - to meet and spend time with any guest wishing to view her paintings - in her adjacent studio.  She will phone - once you've settled in - to see if you wish to take advantage of this opportunity.
