One of the best Airbnb’s ever! Everything was thoughtful and to perfection. Elspeth has done an amazing job doing up the old apple pickers cottage to feel right at home and provide a relaxing and private haven. She was also great with the suggestion of things to do and places to eat in Mapua. The cottage was full of nice touches like comfy places to lounge, lots of literature about of the history of the place, great selections of books (I read so much about New Zealand birds!) and handy kayaks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the region.
