Private, perfect location! Hosts were great about making us comfortable but leaving us to our own private sleep-out and bathroom area just steps away. This is basically your own accommodation - even a personal outdoor seating area - or the option to sit at larger shared seating area near main house. Can tell the owners are attentive to all needs - a friendly greeting, electric kettle, cups, cutting board, extra blanket, fluffy towels, heater, reading material, even a toothbrush holder all provided. Great shower water pressure - smells of fresh wood in new bathroom. Just 1 minute walk to town hub/wharf. Was the perfect place to relax and clean up after tiring days on the Great Taste Trail - we biked from Nelson to Moteuka and back using Mapua as our base for two nights. Wonderful.
