Internet options?

Hi, Nelson! We'll soon be moving in and I'm looking for internet providers. We're going to be a bit out in the sticks so it's looking like ADSL. Which provider would you recommend? Cheers!

Gilbert and Sara, Jordan and Jadine

Hi Nelson. About 22 years ago I lived in Motueka with a family, when their children were young. I would love to get in touch with them all these years later to see how they are doing, but I have no idea where to begin looking, as I have lived overseas for the last 18 years.

I'm hoping someone on here recognizes these names and can help me out :)

Any knife makers in here?

I know Nelson has a community of knife makers and hence I was wondering if any one in here is one. I'm asking this because I recently decided to get into the hobby myself and hence wanted to order steel, but the only shop in New Zealand that I could find was https://knifesupplies.co.nz/, and hence I am wondering if any of you know anything about this store and if so how trustworthy it is. Thank you in advance for your help.

Does anybody know anything about NZ Knife Supplies?

Their website tells me that they are located in Nelson, hence I was wondering if anybody know anything about them to check their legitimacy.

Nelson Girls

Kia Ora, good people of Nelson. I have a friend whose daughter is thinking about boarding at Nelson Girls college and I would appreciate any advice or information. The reviews I looked at weren't great to be honest, wth a few mentions of racism and bullying. Thanks!

Good quality picture frames

Kia ora, would anyone know where to purchase good quality frames?

The ones I am finding across the main stores are very light, flimsy, and the plastic "glass" they come with is usually very reflective.

I would go to a professional framer if I had the mahi.

Meeting people?

My partner and I (28m+26f) just moved here from Raglan and are looking to meet some people and make some friends. But we have quickly found out that Nelson is all newly weds and nearly deads. Oops, too late now - we're here! What do young fun people do these days? Any recommendations of places to go or things to do? We are pretty chill and quite introverted, which makes socialising even harder for us, but I'm always keen to make new friends.

Nelson tuesday-night bushcrafty-walking events

Any of you Nelson Redditors want to go for regular walks? I'm relatively new in town and hoping to kick a bit of a group together for regular tuesday evening walks, particularly through winter when it's dark and terrifying to go into the bush by yourself. I used to run something similar in Wellington on Meetup and it was so good, made many friends and even if you don't hit it off socially you're still doing something interesting.

If you're interested please push the boat out, sign up and let's give it a hoon. I've never heard of Kommunity either but it's a free Meetup by the look of it and I have no money.

First walk here is a night-walk up around the Stoke Marsden Valley weir, and practicing some classic handy knots anyone will find useful. If you think learning knots in the dark bush with strangers sounds like your kind of fun we'll get on great.

Looking for car rentals and suggestions

My partner and I are arriving in Picton on Saturday and would love to drive down to Nelson. Unfortunately our car wouldn’t make its way on the ferry as it had no spots left. Any recommendations for good car rentals that we could get on arrival? Also would it be advisable to take the bus from Picton to get to Nelson given it’s only 2 hrs away? Could we get on and about exploring Nelson without a car for couple of days? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Fish and chips shop drama

Just went down the road with my partner while staying here in nelson to get a feed. Two guys were also ordering. One guys checking my partner out with hands down his pants Same guy soon after sitting on my car (asked him to get off) Other guy calls me a bitch as I'm getting in my car to leave.

6$ per scoop of chips on top of all of that

Partner and I quite upset about this whole situation. Felt like throwing hands.. but kept my cool best I could.
