Wed 11th July Trip Details

We stay close to home today, thus in mind we have a busy day planned.

Once all picked up we will make our way to Wakefield where we will visit the Willow Bank Heritage Village. Whilst here step back in time and take a look at some of Nelson’s historical buildings. Stroll along the village street and visit the stores and establishments, each one an echo of New Zealand’s past.

This village has been put together by owner Christine Grieder in which she is continually working on something in the village, be it a sign to paint, gardens to plant or new stores to set up. Willow Bank Heritage Village is a work in progress and a dream of hers fulfilled to be able to live here and share it with the Nelson Community.

From here we will make our way to the Brightwater Hotel where we will enjoy a hot lunch together before heading back into town with drop offs while it is still light.
