The toolshed bed is such a cosy little room in the garden of Hillary and her family. They are very kind and welcoming.
The wharf, where you can eat fish&chips as well as other delicious food and drink nice beer, is very close (2 min walk).
Mapua is a good point to start your abel tasman track from. It's quite close to Marahau (30 min drive) and still not far away from Nelson. So you have the City and nature close by.
We can definitely recommend to stay there!!
