Location and things to do

Tasman Great Taste Trail

Greenwood park is located close to the Tasman TASTE TRAIL. The wonderful cycle trail in the Nelson/Tasman region. We are located about half way between Richmond and Rabit Island/Mapua.

Rabbit Island Beach

Moturoa Rabbit Island is the largest of a group of sandy islands lying in the Waimea Estuary at the head of Tasman Bay, 15 minutes drive from Richmond. Along its seaward side there is more than eight kilometres of safe sandy beach. This is the largest picnic area in the district.

Greenacres Golf Course

Located on the outskirts of Nelson, Greenacres Golf Club is actually on Best Island.  The course borders the tidal inlet with water coming into play on several holes.  Built on a solid sand base, the inland holes are tree-lined where the coastal holes enjoy water views and a true links feel.  The area is famous for its wineries, orchards, beaches, art galleries and beautiful river valleys so take time to enjoy the local sites.
