Nick D'Evereux, Sales Manager from Bowater Honda in his Jazzercise getup - this is not the new official work uniform!

We are very excited about the new generation Honda Jazz we now have down at Bowater Honda. So excited we want to make a song and dance about it!

The new Honda Jazz is quite simply JAZZ AS!

It is also nimble, quick and quite the stunner.
When we first learnt about this nippy little urban get-around coming to our new dealership earlier in the year we came up with the concept to run a Jazzercise class whilst offering demo drives on a Saturday the weekend after we "officially" launched this great new model.

Jazzercise.

Easy they said.

So now we are here. The official launch for the Honda Jazz is Thursday 24th July. That in itself is going to be an awesome event.

We have organised the knowledgeable folks out at the ASB Aquatic and Fitness Centre to come along and run a class for us, right in the showroom.

It is going to be heaps of fun, so pull out your old lycra, drink half a dozen energy drinks, and come down for a great morning on Saturday 26th July at Bowater Honda's new showroom at 82 Achilles Ave.

Win at Light Nelson with Bowater Honda and #GigatownNsn - we need your selfie!

The Light Nelson event is always a fantastic family entertainment must do for everyone during the annual Nelson Winter Music Festival. It is without question a stunning collaborative effort - and this year you have even more reason to go along.

Bowater Honda have joined forces with #GigatownNelson and come up with a great competition that will not only be a little bit fun, but also helps with the #GigatownNsn project to win ultrafast Broadband for the Top of the South.

All you have to do is take a selfie (a picture on your smartphone of you at the Light Nelson event) and upload it to the Gigatown Nelson facebook page. Gigatown Nelson will promote all of the photos uploaded and the top three most voted on photos will all receive prizes from Bowater Honda.

1st Prize - Loan of a demo Honda vehicle for a weekend, model and time of your choice, plus a tank of petrol
2nd Prize - Full car groom for your car

New Features!
We have recently installed a new multi language tool. Head to the top section of the website and select your preferred language. Easy as that. Some of the images with words in them will not translate but with this new feature activated we create more content with this translation tool in mind over time. We hope this helps you connect with us.

Supporting the Brook Sanctuary

The Brook Sanctuary is returning nature to the Nelson Region. They are undertaking a very ambitious and visionary project, and amongst other very important projects they are currently working on raising funds to place a 14km predator-proof fence that will create a 700ha native wildlife experience close to Nelson’s city centre.

The Bowater Motor Group are right behind them on this project, and we have injected our own support during the initial public fundraising phase of the project by enabling them to have a campaign office downtown in the heart of Nelson.
