Emma and Gary couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. The studio had everything you could need for a comfortable stay -- full kitchen, washing machine, lovely private patio with table and sun umbrella, air conditioning. Our hosts even provided us with some food items to get us started, including fresh apples and corn on the cob. The studio is located in a rural setting, but close to Abel Tasman park and the lovely village of Mapua. We would highly recommend this studio and would definitely stay again if ever back in this area.
