Where to park up to sleep for one night

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

Has anyone used Total Estate Management before?

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.

Boathouse or boat shed cafe?

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

Favourite food places to indulge yourself?

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.

Late 90s song - Psycho hose beast?

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!

What’s with all the jellyfish on the beach tonight???

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?

Considering moving to Nelson, info and tips?

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!

Environmental jobs in Nelson

Looking at moving to Nelson from Auckland and I am an environmental scientist. I don't see many jobs advertised in this field and, at my level in Nelson. Is this not an easy field to get employed in there and am I unlikely to find work?

Moving to Nelson

My wife and I are tired of Auckland. We visited Nelson a couple of years ago and fell in love with it.

How is life in Nelson? The good and the bad. What are some good middle-income suburbs that are safe and quiet?

Have you moved to Nelson? How was the change?
