Moving to Nelson, what do I need to know?

Well update, we are now unconditional in Marybank, the place that @Willdat? checked out the open home for us, been through all the nonsense that comes with it and just need to do the settlement in Jan when we move down.

how long would it be parked up ?? 
the ferry company may have space if it pre-arranged

My partner works for Keith Andrews Trucks, and she failed to mention they have a branch in Wellington about 15 mins from the ferry until after I put up the post asking for help (even though we'd discussed it), what a silly goose. So we should hopefully be ok. 

Looking forward to being down there, but still going flat tack to get everything sorted at this end. Hasn't helped that I had my Landcruiser stolen in the middle of all this, and someone volunteered us to host Christmas for her entire extended family... but such is life.

Update: I now live in Nelson. It is good.

Much unpacking to do still but very exciting. I’ve got a week until I start the new job and I’m sure I’m going to spend almost all of it doing jobs around here and just unpacking. But we love our place, and am excited for some new adventures. 
 

Keen to meet up with Oldschool people in the area if the opportunity arises.

Welcome !

An oldschool meet in nelson would be good. Should kick the rep up the bum.
