RICHMOND SOUTH ISLAND NEW ZEALAND
INFORMATION AND HOTEL ACCOMMODATION

Richmond is the seat of the Tasman District Council, located 13km south of Nelson in the South Island of New Zealand, close to the southern extremity of Tasman Bay. Although Richmond lies outside the boundaries of Nelson City it is part of the Nelson Urban Area for statistical purposes, and is informally considered part of Greater Nelson. Richmond is the largest urban settlement in Tasman District. It is also one of the fastest growing with people attracted by the surrounding natural beauty and vibrant bustling feel of the town. Population is currently around 11,000. Richmond is the main shopping centre in the District and in recent years it has been transformed with the addition for many exciting new retail outlets. However, Richmond has managed to retain much of its friendly 'small town'? feel. The town started life in 1842 with just one dwelling, a 9 x 3.5 metre surveyors hut and the name Richmond-on-Thames. It is now a favourite stopping place for the thousands of tourists that visit Tasman District and offers a great network of green spaces and walking tracks to enjoy. A short drive from Richmond takes you to Rabbit Island or Moturoa, one of the loveliest beaches in the region. The island is reached via a causeway and is closed at night. The beach stretches right down to Mapua on one side and up to Richmond on the other. It has surperb picnic spots, toilet facilities and safe swimming.
