Workation in Nelson: the essentials

Founded in 1841, Nelson is the oldest city in the South Island, on Tasman Bay at the island's northern end. About 51,000 people live in the urban area, and arts and crafts run deep here, with a well-known Saturday market and a yearly arts festival. Tahunanui Beach is in town, while Abel Tasman, Kahurangi and Nelson Lakes national parks are all within reach by car. Coworking exists, though the working crowd is local and outdoorsy. Furnished monthly rentals are limited. Nelson Airport, about 6 km out, has domestic flights only.
