"Cute, comfy little pad in the heart of Mapua… serene and relaxing, thank you."

"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 ."

"Had a lovely ANZAC weekend at Fern Tree cottage - even went to the service at 11am just down the road. Spacious and warm, and just around the corner from the shops and bakery. Kids loved the rooms, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommended."
