If you drive a small car, or are thinking about downsizing to a lower fuel use, more efficient smaller car for around town use, then you need to see the Hyundai Accent. This zippy little hot hatch has it all! Small on size but massive on features across the model range. We have a wide range of quality used vehicles like this one in our central Nelson Yard.

The Bowater family has been in the area for many generations and over the course of this time we have got to know the place, and the people very well. This means that occassionally we can offer our customers some truly exceptional opportunities. The kind of stuff that most of us normally dont get to do, the kind of stuff that memories are made of.
This is one of those times.
The chance of a lifetime, and the chance to experience our wonderful region like never before. The icing on the cake is that you can share this experience with your family, or your mates.
We love the Nelson and Tasman region. But it is huge, and sometimes wild out there. For most of us the experiences we have in the region are all easy to get to. A quick car trip away. Some family time at Kaiteriteri Beach in the summer, a spot of fly fishing in the upper reaches of the Motueka Valley, or a quick wander, or bike ride, up some of the hills behind the city to drink in some of the stunning views. For most of us this is the most we get. But what if we could get more? What if we had the chance to hop on a helicopter and go further, and deeper into the heart of the region. Chance of a lifetime stuff!
For the last bit of the year Bowater Toyota are inviting you to buy a new Toyota Hilux and go in the draw to take flight on the adventure of a lifetime. This is a "locals only" promotion, so the chances of winning are fantastic, and you get a great Hilux out of the whole thing, so you have already won!
Bowater Honda came along with their hybrid petrol / electric sports coupe the Honda CR-Z - who ever said responsibility needed to be boring!
The Bowater Motor Group are realists.
The climate is definitely changing around us and there is a growing groundswell of people wanting to do something about that. Bowaters are all for that, and the technology now exists for passionate people to take a greater degree of responsibility for their own collective emissions and carbon footprints through the choices they make in their own personal transportation options.
Last weekend the world got together to bring attention to the fact that climate change is impacting now not only on the planet, but also on each and every one of us on an almost daily basis. The weather is more extreme, and new costs are beginning to be felt as commoditites are starting to be priced on not only the cost of actual production, but also the environmental costs of the manufacturing process as well.
The Top of the South was well represented in the AVAAZ Climate Change Campaign - joining around 2000 other locations globally, and hundreds of thousands of people around the world on 21st September, to come together and draw attention to the problem in the lead up to a major G8 Climate Change Summit by major heads of states next week.
The locals of Golden Bay decided to do things a little differently for the Global Climate Change March - they drove!
Golden Bay is one of the most engaged populations per capita when it comes to environmental causes, and lifestyles based on a certainly level of consciousness about self responsibility regarding personal impacts of each of us. A group of people that by and large are prepared to walk the talk. There was a good turnout with a really active bunch of locals wanting to make their collective voices heard. What was interesting about the Golden Bay version of the Climate Change march was that it was all about Hybrid cars, and this is where the Bowater Motor Group fitted in as guests of the organisers.

The first round of #gigatown is now done and dusted and all scores are reset to zero and the top 5 towns now start again on a level playing field. It is very exciting for Nelson to be one of those top 5 towns - but now the hard work really needs to happen!
We will post a couple of how to guides over the coming days on how we can all band together and get onboard the #gigatownnsn train and work towards bringing ultrafast broadband to our doors.
Whenever you see the Bowater Honda Gigatown Nelson CR-V out and about be sure to snap a photo to upload, and take a few moments to talk to the Gigatown Crew about how you can help. It does not require much, just a little from alot!

The Nelson Mail, our local paper, is even giving column centimetres to this remarkable effort, an effort that has been making progress due to the tireless battling away by a dedicated team of locals, and a few businesses like Bowater Motor Group, and Bowater Honda in particular.
