We are considering a move north into the Nelson Tasman area, we are both 'young' retired and are interested in hearing about good areas to live that have a great community feel. Family have mentioned Motueka, and as we do not work, we do not need to live in central Nelson, preferring communities round the edges. Does anyone know anything about Atawhai please? If we move it will be to gain a view, rural or water, on a north(ish) facing area. We currently live 30 minutes from Christchurch, and our family have now moved away from the area so we are looking for a new episode in our N.Z. Story. Thank you.
