Gert and his wife are fantastic hosts! Their home is beautiful, and they are very close to Mapua where there are a number of nice restaurants and bars. The hosts were also incredibly helpful in our trip planning for hiking the Abel Tasman Coastal Track as they went out and bought us some camping supplies, fronted the cost, and were happy to be reimbursed when we arrived! I’ve never seen hosts that happy to help travelers. The living space has a kitchen with a small refrigerator, a two burner stove, and a sink. Dishes and silverware were all provided. Everything was spotless and better than advertised!
