Mapua Studio High Quality Accommodation
Some samples of what the guests are saying: Quiet tranquil and just fabulous: comfy bed: great shower thanks. Your holiday cottage looked perfect on the internet AND IT IS. Bliss, perfect Studio with outdoor setting so tastefully decorated. Peaceful relaxing all we were looking for.
The Studio is new and contemporary with polished concrete floors and cosy and homely, has a great tiled shower, it is tastefully and simply decorated and immaculately clean. French doors open onto your own enclosed timber deck, cook a chooky or vege burger on the barbecue and you're welcome to use herbs from the garden.
There are 2 bikes here which you are welcome to use and a bike shed if you want to bring your own. There is off street parking for the car too.
If the nights get a bit chilly there is a toasty warm Studio wood fire (which I love), very very cosy.
The Great Taste Cycle Trail: We are just a couple of minutes from the Wharf where the Mapua Ferry carries people and their bikes connecting Mapua to Rabbit Is as part of the cycle trail linking to Nelson and the other way to Kaiteriteri.
The Wharf and the village has a variety of unique shops show casing local artists work, restaurants and cafes fish and chip shop and the Golden Bear Brewery (boutique brewery) often has live music for you to kick back relax and enjoy.
I want to mention too that Godwits migrate all the way from Alaska (11000km) to spent time with us and they come to our estuary which is at the end of our street. I find that amazing. At the end of the street is also a tranquil place to watch the sun go down Special conditions: Although we do the cleaning, we do ask that you leave the Studio tidy with dishes done. The Studio is ultra clean and has freshly ironed fine quality sheets.

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.

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 .
We loved everything about Kathy’s place!
What a magical part of NZ!

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.

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!
We stayed 7 nights. The Studio is modern, comfy bed, great shower, cosy, warm, private and quiet, just what we wanted and needed. Close to Mapua shops. Kathy is welcoming and the perfect host.
HIghly recommended.

Perfect getaway
The property was great and we had an amazing stay. Very quiet and well insulated, and the bikes were very handy for nipping down to the wharf or hitting the wine trail.

Marvellous Mapua
Cosy Studio is in a handy location, not far from the Mapua Wharf. Everything we needed was there. Kathy, the host was friendly and helpful with local knowledge.
