The host was amazing. They gave us great useful information on where to eat and shop etc.
And they very kindly put away our supermarket shopping and met us at the property for a walk through on arrival. The house was super clean and warm and comfortable. The fireplace and couches were a great entertaining space.
The bed linen was lovely, and I was thankful there was shampoo and conditioner there as I hadn't brought any.
A great spot away from the hustle of the city. The apartments are right next to the Wharfside shops and eateries ( highly recommend the fish and chip shop for yummy fresh gurnard meal - much cheaper than the restaurants.) Convenience store not far away. Would definitely come back again.

I have stayed in Mapua many times while holidaying in the region. Its a perfect spot if you don't want to be in the more metropolitan Nelson/Richmond areas but still have all the facilities at hand that you want on a holiday - restaurants, cafes, shops, pub, supermarket, petrol etc etc while still only being half an hour away from Nelson etc

We've been to Mapua before.
We've been to Mapua before. It's off the beaten track to an extent but still has all the facilities you might want. It gets quite busy with tourists, both domestic and overseas, in summer. However, by the end of April this year it was just right with no problems getting a table at any of the restaurants yet they weren't dead either. Cyclists/walkers be aware that the Mapua Ferry winter timetable (weekends and school hols only) cuts in on the first week in May. We intended cycling in to Richmond but were scuppered by the lack of a ferry crossing.
Terra Nostra Cottage is a lovely one bedroom cottage nestled in the back of a property in Māpua within a few hundred meters of the wharf area. The cottage is secluded, quiet and a lovely place to stay. The hosts were very friendly, respectful and kind. There is lots of space, a private outdoor area and it is very comfortable. We enjoyed the dolce gusto coffee maker very much. The Four Square is about 5-7 minutes walk. It could not have been better.
This place is a little slice of heaven. Chrissie and John were the best hosts. The view from the room was beautiful. Fresh fruit was growing outside in the garden. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was yummy. Very close to wharf and restaurants. We will definitely come back again to explore the wineries.
So cool that the host was from Gravesend, Kent. Small world!
Thank you! Richard & Michelle
Wonderful unit, clean, comfortable with a nice outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the gardens. The host Nicky is great, and provided a picnic basket full of breakfast items outside our door/patio in the morning. Highly recommend. While you are in Mapua, a short ride to the small scenic harbor will lead you to some good restaurants. We ate at the Apple Shed, it was also very good. Good NZ wine list.
First class accommodation. Very well presented and some thoughtful extras like TWO suitcase stands. I was by myself but I am used to travelling with my wife and we have a suitcase each, so two stands is brilliant. There were very nice fixings for breakfast and it was only 5 minutes walk to the wharf.
Location very suitable for our cycling group of 6. Easy to ride to, and accessible to restaurants on Mapua wharf. Short ride to Gravity winery for lunch. House has a separate master suite which suited our needs as 4 of us left early on the last morning.
Location is terrific and within easy walking distance to the wharf, coffee shops, restaurants and a supermarket. Owners were friendly and easy to communicate with. Apartment was lovely and lots of info handily supplied via a nice notebook.
Cosy little cottage with friendly hosts. Very clean with warm, comfy bed and nice linen. The plunger coffee and home made chocolates were a lovely touch. Perfect location just steps from Mapua Wharf with great off street parking.
Location was excellent being so close to the wharf. Unit was comfortable with new bathroom. Porch outside was a lovely place to eat or enjoy the outdoors. Very comfortable bed. Friendly hosts. Wifi appreciated.
The location was perfect for Mapua - an easy walks to shops, bars and restaurants. Highly recommend the Mapua bakery across the road. Excellent kitchen facilities and good outdoor seating area.
Being met on arrival and having the unit aired and ready for us was loverly and unexpected. The location was fantastic and the amenities and shops in the village of Mapua were just amazing.
Awesome hosts. Spacious and clean apartment. Lovely stay with beautiful views. Short drive to Mapua wharf's lovely shops and restaurants. Will go back there.
The property is very close to Mapua Wharf with lots of options for dining and activities. 300m down the hill to a Four Square, Bakery, Coffee and a Pub.
