About this cottage rental

Corru Gate: Sunny, private, architecturally-designed, quiet, children-friendly cottage. 2-3 bdrm Corru Gate (ideal for 4 but could take 6 - please enquire) features a distinctly 'arty' NZ flavour on 7 acres of grounds with sea and mountain views. Corru Gate is stylish, modern and different - city chic meets country style. Set 4 minutes from Mapua seaside village, Corru Gate has a real NZ flavour - stained board and batten, and corrugated iron. Barn red detailing, sunny colours, flax, ferns and koru add to the kiwi styling.

Corru Gate is built with sustainability principles. We value our natural environment (open spaces, birds and native trees). We have organic orchards – grab a lemon for your G and T on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit. Children are welcome – it is fenced and there is a playground, treehut, chickens, tame sheep, and SPACE. Babysitter list too!

Welcoming and comfortable, Corru Gate Cottage has a zany kitchen, a sunny, open plan lounge/dining area, and French doors opening onto a deck and private garden and an outdoor bath under the stars - all with creative design.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We had to “suddenly” book a stay in Mapua & were delighted to find “Corru Gate!” Adele and Roger were fabulous hosts, easy to communicate with. They have “pet sheep” and leave sheep treats (sheep nuts) for you to feed the sheep. The location was just outside Mapua with easy access to the wharf. Beds were delightfully comfy, and the antique stove to warm the place was fabulous!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days at Corru Gate. The cottage was lovely - everything as shown and described on line. The location was accessible to activities of interest in the area, but tucked away just enough to be peaceful - and great stargazing!

An interesting property, and a good location for Mapua and the region.
