Gorgeous winter getaway

Loved this warm, beautifully restored cottage. Full of amazing detail and character in a scenic and peaceful location. The alpacas, kune kune pigs and their kitten 'piglet' were a complete bonus! Hope to go back!

Mapua - Waterfront Kiwi Bach

Beautiful part of the country and a lovely kiwi bach. The beds were super comfy and hosts were fantastic and helped when needed. Loved getting to see the Weka that hangs around the property. Bach was super comfy and had everything you could ever need.

Gorgeous property

The wee house is beautiful - the decor is eclectic and I loved it! The outdoor area was perfect and I can imagine in the summer it would be even better !! Loved that we could have our deputy dawgs with us - they loved that beach !!!

Nelson experience.

We had a cosy and comfortable two nights at the South Street cottage. The location is central yet quiet. We would definitely love to stay there again.
