WOW! 5* experience from start to finish. Jackie is a lovely host, she greeted us on arrival and gave us some helpful local tips of things to see and do in the area, nothing was too much trouble whilst we were there. The extras were a lovely bonus the homemade Granola and Raspberry & Peach compote were amazing, we also received lots of fresh milk, yoghurt, citrus fruit, berries and eggs from the cute chickens in the garden as well as plenty of tea, filter & ground coffee, hot chocolate and sugar. The place is in a quiet and secluded area and was just perfect after busy days to come back to peace and serenity. The bed was very comfortable and the facilities were super clean. The kitchen area although small comes with everything you could need; kettle, toaster, Tupperware to microwave eggs, cafetière tea pot etc. Apple TV available although with the beautiful surroundings I'm not sure you'd want to watch TV.
We had a throughly enjoyable stay at the Mapua Hideaway and would highly recommend staying here if in the area. It is close by to Mapua Wharf 5min drive approx, with plenty of shops and restaurants, Abel Tasman national park also about 30-40 min drive.
