The Nelson region on the South Island of New Zealand is positioned between Marlborough to the east and Tasman Region to the west.

Many people believe the Nelson region has the best climate in New Zealand, in that it regularly tops the national statistics for sunshine hours, with an annual average total of over 2400 hours.Nelson has beaches and a sheltered harbour. The harbour entrance is protected by a natural breakwater known as The Boulder Bank, which also reduces the effects of the tide on Nelson city's beach, Tahunanui. This allows for some of the safest sea bathing in the country.

Richmond is located just 15 minutes south of Nelson City on the main State Highway 6 from Christchurch. Our central location in the Nelson / Tasman region makes Kershaw House the perfect base to explore the region as most major points of interest are within easy reach in a day. Water Taxis departing from Kaiteriteri for daytrips to the Abel Tasman National Park are only a short 40 minute drive away. In the other direction, Nelson City with its charming restaurants and local art and craft market is a convenient 15 minute drive. Our closest local beach is Rabbit Island and can be reached in 10 minutes.
