Johanna’s private guest room was a fantastic place to lay our heads for a few nights as we explored the nearby areas of Kaiteriteri and Abel Tasman National Park, which are about 30 minutes away by car.
The room is spotless and very cozy. There is also an outdoor area with a gorgeous garden that has plum, almond and macadamia nut trees.
The town of Mapua itself has a charming bakery where you can stock up on supplies and caffeine before hitting the road.
Johanna was very quick to respond to any inquiries and extremely helpful in sorting out logistics and travel tips in the area.
I absolutely recommend her place to anyone traveling in the region looking for a private room.
