Nelson lakes is a dump this time of year.

I suggest Kaiteriteri. Takaka hill road, heaps to see, nice beaches, heaps of nice places to eat, Takaka hill road, not too far from Nelson, Mot and Takaka.

Great easy day ride over the Takaka hill road and up to Collingwood for lunch. Visiting "the emergence" and Pupu springs on the way.

The Takaka hill road has to be for me one of the top roads to ride in New Zealand, I rate it the same as the Para's and the road to Milford Sound.

Is there somewhere near Kaiteriteri that we could book out as a group? Remember we don't want the hassle of sharing a camping ground with the public like what happened at Danseys.

Yep, there is a small private farm camping ground on the back road (which is a nice ride in itself) I think Jennie knows where it is.

Dump? thought it was a lake... and as far as I know its a beautfull spot all year round.
The place I was thinking of is a set up similer to the Catlins hall dorms etc.

As far as Kaiteriteri great spot but we base rallys around a short ride and accomadation.

waiting to hear from Nelson about a place thats out of the public eye with H/C running water etc... with rides for both off & on road with a good budget

Sounds good. For anywhere in the Nelson area Paulette and I are considering returning via the Rainbow.
