We had the most wonderful holiday staying at Black House Cottage in Māpua. The cottage is a both charming and relaxed place to stay with plenty of room and great amenities. It is super clean with a very new bathroom and everything you could want. The garden is a beautiful place to relax with trees full of birds providing shade and tranquility. The location is brilliant - being a few minutes away from coffee and some shops and an easy 20 minute walk to Māpua wharf. As a location to explore the wider Golden Bay and Tasman Māpua is unrivalled. Our host Sian was so helpful. We got groceries delivered to her address by mistake and we arrived to find they had been moved to the cottage had all been put away! Plus little touches like a bottle of wine on arrival and checking in to make sure everything was good. Totally recommend staying there and we will definitely be rebooking.
