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!

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)
