🏞️ On the Road to Nelson Lakes National Park 🚗💨

Passing through a charming little town called St Arnaud 🏡 And the stunning Lake Rotoiti glistening beside it 🌊💙 Even after living in Nelson for 2.5 years, this was my first time here! 😲⏳ The drive took about 1.5 hours — totally worth it! 👍 Overall, Nelson is such a livable little city 🏡💖! The slow-paced, relaxed vibe makes it perfect for enjoying life 😌🍃. Ahhh… what a blissfully chill day! ☺️🌈 If you have time, I’d recommend staying overnight 🛌✨ There are so many cool hiking trails around! One of them is Whisky Falls 🥾🌿 (see third photo!) 🥪 Bring your own snacks and drinks — the town is super quiet and barely commercial (only one small café ☕😅) #NewZealand #Nelson #NelsonLakes #SouthIsland #NZMustDo #HiddenGems
