Terra Nostra, hotel in Mapua

Terra Nostra is located in Mapua, just 20 miles from Christ Church Cathedral and 20 miles from Trafalgar Park. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking, and free Wifi.

It was very cozy and a walk from the ferry which we came over on our bikes. It was an easy walk into town and the harbor. Quiet neighborhood. Having the outside patio table and umbrella and the privacy was quite special. We wished we had planned to stay longer.

Beech Hill - Pet Friendly Holiday Home, hotel in Mapua

Located in Mahana, Mapua, Beech Hill features a garden. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to free WiFi and a patio.

Everything about Beech Hill was incredible. Gorgeous architecture and interior design with great attention paid to small touches. Idyllic setting with walks and gloworms from the door. Minutes from lots to do and close to Coastal taste trail. Owner, Nic, was incredibly kind and made us feel so welcome. Her ambassador, the pup Frankie, made my kids entire trip to New Zealand. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to one day return.

    A great spot away from the hustle of the city.

    A great spot away from the hustle of the city. The apartments are right next to the Wharfside shops and eateries ( highly recommend the fish and chip shop for yummy fresh gurnard meal - much cheaper than the restaurants.) Convenience store not far away. Would definitely come back again.

    Stunningly beautiful! Everyone should visit. Beautiful place. The Apple Shed had friendly staff & food was very fresh and yummy! Alberta’s was the best breakfast ever! Walking & biking is easy around Māpua. People are very friendly in this quaint place.

    Our stay was outside Christmas, New Year and school holidays, so quiet. Had no issues getting meals at Mapua Wharf, plenty to choose from. Great base for Golden Bay and Nelson. Love taking the ferry to Rabbit Island and biking.

    I have stayed in Mapua many times while holidaying in the region. Its a perfect spot if you don't want to be in the more metropolitan Nelson/Richmond areas but still have all the facilities at hand that you want on a holiday - restaurants, cafes, shops, pub, supermarket, petrol etc etc while still only being half an hour away from Nelson etc

    We've been to Mapua before.

    We've been to Mapua before. It's off the beaten track to an extent but still has all the facilities you might want. It gets quite busy with tourists, both domestic and overseas, in summer. However, by the end of April this year it was just right with no problems getting a table at any of the restaurants yet they weren't dead either. Cyclists/walkers be aware that the Mapua Ferry winter timetable (weekends and school hols only) cuts in on the first week in May. We intended cycling in to Richmond but were scuppered by the lack of a ferry crossing.

    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.

    Brand new with modern decor and furniture, and a comfortable bed and chairs. In a great location on the outskirts of Mapua where you benefit from the quiet but within driving distance of the wharf and shops, and also within 30 mins drive of Abel Tasman. A lovely location within the grounds of Nicky’s home - she is a great host who was really friendly and provided a wonderfully unexpected treat of homemade muffins and a continental breakfast. A great 2 night stay!

    This place is a little slice of heaven. Chrissie and John were the best hosts. The view from the room was beautiful. Fresh fruit was growing outside in the garden. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was yummy. Very close to wharf and restaurants. We will definitely come back again to explore the wineries. So cool that the host was from Gravesend, Kent. Small world! Thank you! Richard & Michelle

    Wonderful unit, clean, comfortable with a nice outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the gardens. The host Nicky is great, and provided a picnic basket full of breakfast items outside our door/patio in the morning. Highly recommend. While you are in Mapua, a short ride to the small scenic harbor will lead you to some good restaurants. We ate at the Apple Shed, it was also very good. Good NZ wine list.

    First class accommodation. Very well presented and some thoughtful extras like TWO suitcase stands. I was by myself but I am used to travelling with my wife and we have a suitcase each, so two stands is brilliant. There were very nice fixings for breakfast and it was only 5 minutes walk to the wharf.
