Thanks all for the input. Hours of sunshine and average rainfall was another major consideration in my earlier research. Heard a few stories about sand flies in many beach areas all over the country and Nelson seemed only marginal in this respect.

Happy to take over, consider it sold as seen. NZ remains on my serious long term bucket list and even considered buying a camper and touring there for the summer months last year.
Happy for any tales or info even if it's tales of woe.
(Thanks Wasp)

Nelson was wine country but with the prime hops growing region just up the road in Motueka craft beer breweries have gained a significant foothold. It's possible to do a bike-ride tour around a few of them to sample their wares. I go to Nelson every year for the Marchfest celebrations when they celebrate the hops harvest and the local breweries present their fresh-hopped beers. On my visit to Nelson this year I managed to get through 70 odd different, new beers at the festival and surrounding pubs. It was quite a mission but I was up to the task. Plan B is offline

Contributions like this are music to my ears. Craft beers Mmmmmmmmmmm.
