About this property
Incredible mountain & sea views - 2 Bedrooms apartment (ground floor)
This stylish place to stay is perfect for trips to popular Mapua. This mid century modern home is elevated above the sea with breathtaking views of the mountains and estuary. The home features beautiful art and has 2 bedrooms - each with queen sized beds, a kitchen, lounge, toilet and a luxe marble tiled bathroom. Ideal for couples, friends and family getaways. Nearby is the bustling wharf of Mapua, with artisan shopping, craft brewing, wine tasting, and a wide range of restaurant options.
I enjoy arts and culture and travel often for both work and leisure. I am an active person and enjoy exercise and the outdoors. I come from a town that is a popular holiday destination and have worked in tourism, education, wine and seafood. I like learning and experiencing other cultures, their values, beliefs and cuisine.
