Our room and bathroom were very spacious, clean and bright. Sally kindly packed us a breakfast for the first two mornings as we needed to leave early for our hiking trips. The other two mornings we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the room available for guest use any time of day along with use of the patio. Sally also provided us with many tips about local dining, wineries and nearby sights to see. The location was perfect with easy walking access to a number of eating places and a short ferry ride or drive to Rabbit Island for walking and beautiful beaches.

Great location, only minutes away from Mapua Wharfe and all the facilities there. Sally was very welcoming and friendly. Bedroom was bigger than most we have stayed in - complete with toiletries, dressing gowns, air conditioning, tv, powerful shower, stunning views. We also had a room on the ground floor to use which was equipped with a fridge and small kitchen area. This led out to an outside seating area which was very welcome. Tea etc available to use and lovely home made biscuits 😋. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, yoghurt, croissants, toast, cereal, nuts and seeds. We even had Yorkshire Tea which was very welcome. Laundry is available too if you need it at a small cost. Sally made us very welcome and gave us lots of tips on the local area. Definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed - hopefully return one day.

Fabulous location to Māpua town center and wharf. Sally was a consummate host. Her breakfast was a sumptuous array of breads, muffins, croissants, fresh and dried fruits, compotes, jams, cereals, yogurt, seeds and nuts, some of which were homemade by Sally. Her suggestions about the area were very helpful. She provided beach towels and chairs. The bedroom was the beginning of a guest’s comfort. There was a dining area for breakfast and snacks throughout the day and a lovely garden. A luxurious experience by a host that went above and beyond.

The location was perfect as it was an easy walk to meetings and cafes. The setting was peaceful, friendly and comfortable. The Host was very easy going and welcoming. The breakfast service and dining space was lovely with personal touches that made me feel quite spoilt. Having a space to sit in the garden and listen to the tui was a bonus. Highly recommend this place to stay.

I had an incredible time here. Sally and Ian were so welcoming and put in every effort to make sure my stay was relaxing and fun. The breakfast especially was delicious! The room and bathroom were spacious and the bed was comfy. I really enjoyed sitting out in the terrace with views of the garden, eating dinner in the evenings. It’s just a short walk down to town with restaurants, shops and a weekly market! Mapua itself is a hidden gem, and a great jumping off point for vineyard visits or Abel Tasman explorations.

We were made really welcome and Sally went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and a range of of lovely dishes. If you get the chance, taste her home made shortbread. The best I have ever eaten. Thank you both for your hospitality and rest assured if and when we visit Mapua next, we would be happy to stay with you again. Joan and John.

we loved everything- beautiful room, the host- Sally was so nice and welcoming, breakfast was delicious and rich, it really felt like being at home away from home. I’ll recommend it with all my heart

Sally and Ian were friendly and welcoming. The room was large and comfortable, and the bathroom pleasant to use. The guest dining room is a lovely room and it was much preferable to have fresh milk in a fridge than UHT sachets and a kettle in my room. Nice breakfast that kept me going until lunchtime.

Minor point really. A shaver point and light above the bathroom basin would be useful.

Very quiet, clean, cosy, parking space. Great hospitality, delicious breakfast, complimentary tea and coffee during the day, very friendly hosts, always ready for their guests. One of the best B&B we ever experienced.

Friendly hospitable hosts. Comfortable room and spacious en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was excellent.
