Frequently asked questions

How much does a Nelson holiday package cost?
Offering excellent value package deals on Expedia, you'll be surprised at how little a holiday to Nelson costs! Our packages mean less travel planning for you and greater savings.
What are the cheapest months to go to Nelson?
July, August and September are great times to search for cheap Nelson holiday packages. Travelling in less busy periods means you can typically find lower prices on accommodation and flights.
How many days is enough for Nelson?
Nelson holidays come in many shapes and sizes, but to get a true feel for this place, we'd suggest 2 days is about right. In this timeframe, you can fit in headline attractions like Nelson Provincial Museum and Founders Park and seek out some lesser-known gems. Don't miss out on neighbourhoods such as The Wood and Nelson City Centre either. If you're clever with your time, you can even schedule a day trip from Nelson too.
Is it worth booking a holiday package to Nelson?
Nelson has all the ingredients you need for a memorable getaway --- coastal beaches, walking trails and distilleries and craft breweries are just the start.

How to find the best Nelson package deals?
Bagging a cheap Nelson package deal is a breeze with Expedia. After you've entered your destination and travel dates under our "Packages" tab, set your budget, add some filters and see what's available. You can customise your search by "Amenities," "Property type," "Popular locations" and more. Sort the results by "Price: low to high" to view the most wallet-friendly Nelson package deals. Want a simple trick to get even more savings? Have some flexibility with your departure dates and consider going away on a weekday, when prices are usually lower.
Is it cheaper to book a Nelson holiday as a package?
Expedia holiday packages are designed to help you keep more money in your pocket. Bundle your hotel, flight and car rental into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars.
