Wonderful cottage home within walking distance to the centre of Mapua and a good access point for Nelson and Abel Tasman. Only were able to stay for an evening before heading to Abel Tasman (half hour away)but my traveling companions and I wished we could have stayed longer. Mapua is a great small town with some excellent restaurants, craft brewery, winery, and a few shops on the water. Comfortable, very clean, and charming home for a longer relaxing getaway or as a quick launch off on a road trip.
