    What a magical gem in an amazing location
    This has been one of our favorite picks in the Tasman / Nelson area. The property is quirky, stylish, functional and lovely. The beach right out back is gorgeous. Nearby Māpua wharf became a regular visit for the family and we enjoyed every aspect of this place, the walking paths, the food, the shells. A little slice of heaven on earth.

    Lovely family villa. We all stayed on the top floor no issues and used the bedrooms below to store luggage. Gorgeous spot on the beach. We cycled and went for long walks. The takeaway next door had great Thai!
