Māpua is in the heart of the Nelson/Tasman region, so our location is a perfect base for exploring. There are so many options for day trips: for hiking there is a choice of three National Parks (Kahurangi, Nelson Lakes and Abel Tasman), for swimming there are beautiful golden sand beaches and rivers, for cycling there is a huge variety of trails, and for gourmands there is endless foraging for wine, artisan food and craft beer .
Māpua village is just 5 minutes drive away, and the lively wharf area has cafés, restaurants and galleries.
We are located at the end of Apple Valley East Road. The cottages are half a kilometre from the main road (SH60) which connects Nelson City with Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman National Park.
