Lovely little bach. Ideal for a couple

This is a great place to stay. We stayed 4 nights at the beginning of March. A very short walk to the Wharf and Cafes/restaurants. Very cosy cottage, clean , tidy, and warm. Would definitely recommend and we would stay there again.

Excellent place to stay, wharf and shop in footdistance.

Area and location is excellent. House is also excellent. Cleanliness is good, when you are less than 1.80 m long.

Great quiet little place

Great location, could do with a good spring clean. A bit disappointed with the outside area there was bird poo over the tiles and leaves and weeds not very welcoming to go and sit out there when it was such lovely weather a great place to stay though

Could’ve stayed longer!

An absolutely delightful wee cottage! We had booked for two nights but wished we’d had longer. The cottage was extremely clean, well appointed and equipped (including dishwasher, washing machine and barbecue) - literally everything you need. You could easily stay here for a week - or more! And less than 5mins walk to the Mapua Wharf restaurants and shops etc. The cottage is tucked away among the trees but not completely without a view (it is up a slight rise) and still very light and sunny. The outdoor seating area is perfect for an alfresco breakfast, lunch or dinner (particularly lovely in the afternoon with a glass of Rose!). A perfect spot for a peaceful ‘Escape’! Thank you.
