Local Gems

Here are some of the local gems we’ve loved in the places we’ve visited to capture stories and photos for our business. We are not paid by anyone we mention in our Local Gems stories on this page - these are experiences, businesses, or people that we wanted to celebrate and acknowledge that we thought you might also enjoy knowing about.

Sweet As

Sweet As Cafe (Nelson)

Sweet As is a little cafe very near the Provincial Museum at the top of Trafalgar St in Nelson (near the Cathedral steps) which makes great coffee and food. We love the scones (cheese for Clem and date for Jacquie). It’s a cosy spot when it’s a cooler day and the outdoor seating is lovely…

Tāhunanui Beach, Nelson

Tāhunanui Beach (Nelson)

Tāhunanui Beach, Nelson It’s never a bad day for a walk on the beach. In Nelson your chances of beautiful weather for a beach walk are better than most. Clem and I are often sitting with a coffee in our hands looking at the blue of Tasman Bay whenever we’re home in Whakatū (Nelson).
