We were invited to go out for the day on a bike ride and to have lunch in a winery. I'm not an experienced bike rider so was a bit apprehensive but I should not have worried, Rose picked us up in Nelson and drove us to where we'd get fitted up for our bikes, she returned us to Nelson... More

It's an amazing way to see Nelsons hop fields and countryside. For starters, the guide, Rose, is very accommodating and passionate about Nelson. She makes sure that you're setup and ready to go before you set off... More

I am inexperienced cyclist, so flat route & being able to go at my own pace was great, and cycling at this time of day is ideal. The route was very easy to follow, with interesting landmarks and stunning views. Good incentive to have the pub & fish & chips to end with, cold glass of cider went down a... More
