We absolutely loved our stay at Elspeth’s. Watching the tide roll in to this magical space was everything I imagined. The Bach itself was the quintessential NZ Bach and my family was very comfortable for our 3 night stay. Mapua is a great little spot and a much recommended location. Elspeth greeted us with homemade herbal tea and a as a great host throught. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful native nz garden and seeing the NZ birds. We will be back.
