A little piece of paradise
We had a fabulous 7 night stay over Christmas - and it was the most perfect time. The cottage is clean, comfortable and very well equipped for an extended stay. With fantastic views out over the estuary & Rabbit Island to Nelson in the distance, the outdoor area was the perfect spot to sit and relax. Many thanks to Ken & Vivien (and carrot-loving Nina!) for a fabulous stay.

Bush, peace and quiet at Mapua
A charming and very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage with nice outdoor living, and friendly interesting hosts. The house is full of character, and we enjoyed the natural environment around us, and the gorgeous view out to the bay and mountains.

We just loved the house, the views and location -- as well as our wonderful host, Ken. We loved feeding the doe, Nina, and the natural surroundings. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed keeping the wood fire burning. Kitchen, bathroom up to date and beautifully done, bedroom comfortable, plenty of kitchen supplies, linens and all. Lovely outdoor area and bbq, although it was a bit cold for sitting outside. Would love to return there and absolutely recommend it.

Perfect stay with the most welcoming hosts
We had an amazing stay here. Vivien and Ken were great hosts and were kind enough to walk us around their property showing us glow worms, their pet deer Nina, Humphrey the ram and also managed to point out to us a shining cuckoo chick in the bushes. The cottage was beautiful and clean with amazing views. Could not recommend more! Thanks Vivien and Ken!
