Impeccably clean studio

Kathy was a gracious host and the studio was super clean and tidy. My mother and I really enjoyed our stay and Kathy was very helpful by providing plenty of information about things to do in the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely hideaway

We enjoyed Kathy's hospitality. The wharf is nearby and has some small shops and food vendors/restaurants. A ferry to Rabbit Island and bike ride is a nice way to see the beach. Close enough to Abel Tasman for a day trip. The studio is large, well set-up and very peaceful.

Mapua stay

Kathy was very helpful and really enjoyed talking with her. The location was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, and wharf. Kathy even provided us with Frojies( an Apple/pear type fruit). I would definitely go back .

Mapua, an excellent location for exploring the northern Coast of South Island

An excellent stay at Kathy's bach. Everything needed was on site. Comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. A 5 min. walk away from the Mapua Whraf with all its shops and eateries.I liked most the secluded backyard with almost ripe - but still too sour- grapes.Kathy is a wonderful, communicative and attentive host trying to make her house your home.Thank you Kathy.Gregor

Great place to stay

This is a lovely quiet studio in a fabulous location just minutes walk away from the sea and cafes and shops. We visited in winter and the wood burner made this tastefully decorated studio the cosiest of places to stay. We liked it so much in Mapua that we decided to stay longer and since the studio was booked we were offered another property run by the same owner. This was a large 2 bedroom fully kitted out house, also nicely and comfortably furnished, again with a wood burner. There was heaps of firewood provided and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful. We loved our time so much we think we might move here!

The studio was well appointed, a nice size and very clean. There is a lovely little private deck which is a lovely sun trap during the day. Kathy was very welcoming, all this and just a few minutes walk from Mapua Wharf. Spoilt for choice with places to eat in walking distance and a nice walk back down by the water. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
