About this cottage rental
Mapua Heights Cottage is a comfortable and stylish two-bedroom holiday cottage with magnificent views. It offers privacy, space and the opportunity to relax in a stunning rural setting. It is just 5 minutes drive from Mapua, with its picturesque wharf, popular cafes and restaurants and unique shops and galleries.
New Zealand art and sculpture feature in the cottage. A pot-belly stove keeps the whole cottage cosy in the winter, with a sturdy guard available if needed.
Our holiday cottage provides the ideal base from which to explore the Nelson-Tasman region. You may choose to enjoy the many beaches, sample the region's food and wine, visit the bustling Nelson Saturday market, tour the wineries and art outlets, have fun cycling, kayaking or walking in the area or tramping in one of the region's three National Parks. The possibilities are endless, hence many visitors choose to return.

The location was ideal for a quiet stay with a scenic view in Mapua Heights. The cottage was cozy and well equipped. Nina the deer was eager to check out the new visitors.

Lovely location surrounded by the beautiful bush, with views out to the inlet. Sunny and relaxing. The hosts were very helpful when we needed information. The cottage was clean, comfortable and a wonderful design. Close to good cafes and galleries in Mapua and a short drive to Motueka.

The property has amazing views, was incredibly tidy and equipped with everything we could possibly need. It was a shame we couldn't stay longer. Wonderful place.

Vivien and Ken's place is just wonderful, and they are fantastic hosts. Ken's local knowledge and recommendations were great, and we had a lovely walk to a quiet beach on the Abel Tasmal trail.The two-bedroom home is perfect for a long or short stay, immaculately clean with great facilities, and enjoys breathtaking views over the Mapua estuary.
