Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful 5 night stay in Debbie’s cottage. Great location close to the wharf, bakery and playground. Perfect set up for our family of 5 (children aged 4,6 & 8). Very clean and tidy, comfy beds and very relaxed feel. This is a fantastic family holiday spot and Debbie’s communication was great.

a perfect wee bach for a family
This place has all the relaxed charm of a 'typical' kiwi bach with the advantage of all the mod cons. You can relax and not worry about clashing with the decor or design asethetic! My shoulders moved away from my ears as we walked in the door.The front porch and the patio outside the double doors are great spots to just sit and sip coffee, wine or whatever. Great proximity to all you want in Mapua. Clean, comfortable and cute as a pin. We are not tall people however, and tall people might need to duck here and there.

Lovely quiet cottage
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.
