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.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay) this will be included when you book. Linen (included);

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.
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.
Kathy is a very good host and the studio was ever thing it said. I recommend it. Very clean and well maintained. Good location and an easy walk to the wharf and shops.
Kath was great and pleasant to deal with. We both enjoyed our stay, the studio was clean, well set out and practical.
Thank you, Kath, we would stay again, if up that way.

Lovely wee place. Very comfortable and great location. Brilliant shower and loved the wee fire to take the chill of at night. Very sunny and bright. Nice and private.
A wee gem, cannot recommend Kathy’s studio enough, even better than the photos, a tranquil paradise with amazingly comfy bed and a shower to die for, absolutely loved our stay, we will definitely be back.
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.

Fabulous studio in a great location only minutes from the Wharf. Stylishly decorated with a woodburner and lovely deck area
It was also great to gave use of the bikes
Kathy was great and really has an eye for detail
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
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.
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 .
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!

Kathy's place is great - very clean, super cute yet also modern, small but has everything you need and doesn't feel cramped. Great host who already had the fire on when I arrived! Thanks for a lovely stay.
