France : Mapua41South rules OK

Karen left us a nice review on Air Bn’b:

We had a fabulous time in Mapua.. What a quaint, relaxing and fun experience. Our accommodation was beautifully decorated and well positioned to the Abel Tasman National Park, Nelson and Motueka. The accommodation was spacious and top quality with a super comfortable bed. Very good value for money with very helpful and friendly hosts who provided great local tips and hospitality. Thoroughly recommended accommodation.

Response from John & Lynne:
Thanks Karen. …loved your enthusiasm curiosity and…energy! Mapua is a little gem, for sure – I’m creating a blog/map and at last count there were 11 (yes eleven) cafes/restaurants within 4 minute walking distance , 6 of them on the Wharf. Next trip for you or your family you’ll have to do the winery tour in upper Moutere!

Ok, the title is a bit misleading …but the truth is that   Karen lives in France even if she  is kiwi in origin…but Vincent is French! and Helen….well France? AUstralia? all rolled into one. About the  fourth guest who didn’t quite make it to the airport…, little can be said….actually Karen has a LOT to say (but politely , didn’t!) .

Germany : Mapua41South rules OK

Our recent German guests – Sebastian, Michelle, Regina and Stefan  – left us a complimentary review on our Air Bn’B profile.

A 5 star rating on air BnB doesn’t match this absolutely stunning experience. On a scale like this John and Lynne deserve an extension to at least 7 stars. Guys, hurry up to book that apartment immediately you won’t get a better deal! The place is brand new and equipped only with high quality furniture, state of the art electronics and a perfect BBQ spot. There was not a thing missing and everything incl. John’s huge video selection, local recommendations, special discounts for restaurants etc. was explained in detail in a lovely binder. In my opinion, those additional features show the attention to detail and friendliness which represents the host’s attitude. Obviously, the apartment was absolutely tidy and a perfect place to call home. It was a pity that we only booked 3 nights there. Personally I loved the chats with John and had a great time staying at his place. Mapua is a small but really lovely town with a Wharf area including cafes, restaurants & shops. So you can simply walk for a drink or an evening meal.

Response from John & Lynne: Thanks Sebastian. …great to meet you, Michelle, Stefan and Regina. Next time….more boutique breweries and local wineries… ok?…I’ll be your designated driver!? Mahana and Neudorf in particular. When you return to Germany to Michelle’s parent’s : hope you have a fantastic family wedding and let us know if you need any help sourcing local wines/beers. I’m still amazed at how 4 Germans, 2 studying in OZ, who have never heard of Mapua managed to find us, choose us…and have their decision vindicated. Air BnB and the web rules ok!!

Best accommodation ever…..

Robyn & Chris Moore  (Christchurch ) – copied from TripAdvisor

We had a fantastic holiday in this new, luxury accommodation. It is very spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Sun, sea, great food & coffee – Mapua has it all. Lynne & John were perfect hosts – friendly & informative about the area and cycle tracks. This would have to be the best accommodation we’ve stayed in (in New Zealand & around the world)! We are booked to come back with friends!

 

JF: No…the picture is NOT Chris fishing off the wharf….but he thought about it!

Denmark reviews Mapua41south….and visits Rabbit Island

Review from Morten Lau (Denmark) – from TripAdvisor

“I stayed at John and Lynne’s place for a week in July and had a fantastic time. The two units are separate from the main house and they are both spacious and luxurious, and there is everything you need in both of them. I stayed in the larger unit which has a large kitchen and adjacent lounge that opens up to a large porch. The bathroom is nice and has a large shower area, and the bedroom is large with a comfortable bed. It is very nicely laid out and perfect for a holiday, and John and Lynne are very kind and helpful – and the floor heating is great in winter time, very comfortable. The house is only a short walk from the lovely wharf in Mapua where you find small art stores, restaurants and a micro brewery. There are great bicycle trails and you can rent bikes from a shop at the wharf. I have traveled a good deal around the South Island and this is easily one of the best spots to stay in my mind. The area is surrounded by mountains and provide cover so the weather is usually good and there are many very nice wineries. You can go hiking and skiing in the nearby Southern Alps, Abel Tasman Park is very close by where you can take water taxi or kayak between the stunning beaches, and you can enjoy city life in Nelson. Perfect stuff for a holiday and I will definitely be back.”

 

ps Morten and I cycled in to Richmond and along the way I took this great photo “Dane on the beach” at Rabbit Island (John)
