    Lovely property in a perfect location in Mapua village with waterfront access. Fully equipped for indoor or outdoor dining, very comfortable, great space for the family to relax. Communication with the host was very easy. I would highly recommend and we would definately want to stay again.

    My family had the most wonderful autumn experience here. The days were sunny and warm and then the fireplace at night made the home cozy. There was everything we needed, including great boardgames. Would love to return one day if we can. Thank you.

    Fantastic stay - outdoor space was amazing. The views beautiful. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and seating - which was great as we were a group of nine. Pool was well utilised as was the outdoor fire and BBQ. Good quality sheets and towels. One queen bed was super comfortable but the other unfortunately not so much. Highly recommend!!

    Lovely peaceful location just outside Mapua on the ocean. We loved the privacy, the space inside and out and the comfortable bed. All the amenities needed for an extended stay were provided. Host was very helpful to answer any questions. We like the location for day trips to Abel Tasman area.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and very well appointed with everything we needed. Views were amazing especially sunset. Loved the outdoor space. Was nice to read about the history of the bach and see the height markings on the wall from the previous owners.)It is a scramble to get down to the beach from the rock wall although you can walk down the path a way for easier access ( unfortunately we had someone on crutches so she couldn’t get to the beach)Would definitely stay again. Thanks

    We had a wonderful 3 week stay in this lovely Bach which was the perfect place to stay whilst we settled into New Zealand life after emigrating here. Beautiful location with the sea on your doorstep and lovely peaceful country around the property. Well equipped and a toasty fireplace for the spring evenings. I can imagine it would be fantastic in the summer with the pool and the outside space.

    Very well equipped family bach. We loved the location, looking out across the bay. The kayak was a highlight too. My only suggestion would be to bring your slippers as I got quite cold feet despite the heat pump, open fire and radiators in the bedrooms. The host was generally quick to respond and very helpful. Thanks for sharing your family bach with us Emma!

    What a wonderful place. Amazing location and view. We were very confortable and the bach had all we needed and more and was clean and tidy. Would really come into its own in the warmer months given how its so well set up for outdoor living etc. But we were warm and loved in the winter too. Thanks for sharing it.

    While we couldn't utelise everything this wonderful Bach had to offer (it would be AMAZING in Summer) it delivered in other ways. The cozy fire, indoor drying racks and washing machine were perfect. Wooden floors and fully equipped kitchen. No flooding, location felt safe in the storm and the sea views were perfect.

    We loved the location and the indoor/outdoor areas compelled us to cook in instead of heading to one of the many incredible restaurants at Mapua which we'd been looking forward to. That tells you how good it felt. It has a great outdoor fire and covered seating area which was perfect at the end of a cycling day and heading into a cooler autumn evening. It worked well after we tidied it up although there is no lighting out there once it gets dark. It sleeps 9 with bunkbed options and there were 8 of us/4 couples. A bit of a squeeze and only one bathroom - all of which we knew beforehand and made work.
