Hi folks, is it best to use airbnb or are there better apps for accommodation local to NZ? Or local companies to contact?

Many tia.

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me how I could find the old WW2 bunker on the Tahuna hills

I'm a bit of a history buff and would just love to go check it out.

My gf (26f) and I (26m) are planning to do a foreign internship at the Cawthron Institute in Nelson. We are both from the Netherlands and have never been to New Zealand so we were wondering what people think about living and working in Nelson, is life affordable for two students etc.

On a side note, what are your favorite places in Nelson? We would like to know!

Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes. Sorry I have not been responding, I work a lot of hours to make this happen so I'm very tired when I get home but;

Update: We are definitely going, tickets are booked, visa done and we found a place to stay!

As per title where is a good place to park for a night sleep in the car. Not self-contained. Was supposed to get to campground but they closed early. Can't afford expensive camping. Cheers and thanks

http://www.tem.nz/ Was the process any easy? I'm dealing with them pretty soon, but only stumbled onto their advertising via Neighborly.

I'm not from Nelson, so need to hear feedback.

Not much luck for the comet tonight caught a small glimpse but got better pics of the milky way

Seems they would both have great views over the water - which has the best food and overall vibe?

Hi all - I'll be in Nelson for a few weeks. What are the best happy hours in town? Thanks! Glad to be visiting your lovely city!

Looking for recommendations of your favourite spots to eat out in Nelson and Tasman. Not fancy or gourmet. Just delicious and salivatingly good, possible a bit naughty - takeaways included.

I have an ear-worm, part of a song stuck in my head, and I don't know how the rest of it goes...

Unfortunately, I probably heard it on the free community radio station in Nelson in the mid to late 90s, so I think it might have been a local band, as the full song does not appear anywhere on the Internet.

It was about all the ridiculous terrible things a 'psycho hose beast' , (ala Wayne's world) had done to them, and the repeated lyrics were in a silly, high falsetto.

The lyrics I remember are:

"She put earwigs, In my Marmite... Made it crunchy. Not Nice. Noiice!

She bought a companion, For my goldfish... It was a Piranha. Not Nice. *Noooice! *

She's a, a psycho hose beast. Psycho hosebeast! Psycho hose beast. Psycho hose beast! Psycho hose beast, in myyy life. Life!

I counted at least 150 washed up on shore. I’ve been going to the beach most days for the past few months and never seen more than one or two washed up. Is there a reason why there was so many tonight?

Southern lights were looking good tonight

I'm coming to the south island in December with the intention to move permanently and Nelson or Takaka are on my top list of places.

Here it's what I'm looking for:

• good weather

-yacht club, mooring availability (I come down on a yacht)

• community (bit of social life, community gardens and chance to make friends)
• off- grid living opportunity or cheap rent
• astanga yoga studio ( this is almost a deal breaker, can't find much info online)
• work in marine industry, hospo, wellness or horticulture.
• vegan friendly.

I know it's a lot to ask and I'm not expecting to fulfill everything. I used to live super isolated in the bush in the far north even thicking some of those boxes would be an improvement!

Any first hand experiences? How you find it to live there? How is the culture?

Thanks!

Are there any plans to join the the nationwide protests on the 23rd?
