Description
Location and Contact
Location
• From Picton
• When travelling from the east on SH6 from Picton or Blenheim, you will be best to go straight over the first round about ignoring the left sign to the city centre. Then via left at the second round about, straight over the third and all you then need is a left from St Vincent Street onto Vanguard Street.
• From the West
• Approaching Nelson from the West (Golden Bay, Motueka, West Coast) You will be directed to the city centre in two ways. Follow the City Centre BISPHOPDALE approach on Waimea Road. Take a left down Motueka Street just before the hospital. Follow the road round to the right, and we are on the left just past the holiday park.
• From the airport
• Follow directions as From the West above.
• Walking
• Take the 2km walk from city centre along Vanguard street, grab a taxi for a few dollars or the N-Bus (http://www.nelson.govt.nz/services/transport/nbus/routes-and-timetables/route-5-nelson-victory-hospital-weekdays/) for $2.50 to get dropped off very nearby.
