Scenic Motorhome Parking

CABLE BAY: North of Nelson on SH6, turn to coast at Hira, and 6km out to this small Holiday Park tucked under a hill and native bush, adjacent to the tidal estuary. A favourite spot for Nelson folk, so either book ahead or avoid peak holiday periods. Sites 3,5 and 6 have estuary views, 13 is between two massive

Pukatea trees, and up the back, overlook the family farm.

Native bush attracts lots of birds, esp. Kereru. Original name Schroders Mistake, which allows one to speculate, changed to Cable Bay as this was the location of the first Cable Station in NZ (1876).

The 3 hour Cable Bay Walkway starts/finishes by the Park, a stiff climb with great views over Tasman Bay and Nelson district, or a more leisurely stroll along the natural Boulder Bank which are unique to this area.

The Bank and Park are both shown in the area photo.

A fully equipped Park, family owned and operated, fully serviced, very friendly. A no-exit road so extremely quiet. Have their own small dump area.
