We stayed at Mapua for one night, and really wished we had booked a few extra nights here. First of all, Andy and Karen are great hosts - though we arrived late at night, Karen came to greet us and made really helpful suggestions for our next day ahead, and the next morning, Andy stopped by to make sure we...

The chalets are located on the hills above Mapua, with great views over the Nelson bay, especially from the spa pool. I also enjoyed the pre-booked massage. My chalet was clean and tidy, with all the amenities: Sky, flat screen tv, radio, good cooking facilities.The chalets are quite private. Andy and Karen are great hosts. Highly recommend. More

We had a long stay here to explore the Nelson Tasman region. It was exactly what we were looking for - clean, tidy & warm chalet. Big plasma tv with sky, internet, kitchenette for cooking. It's small but cozy. Hot tub and pool, views to Nelson & surrounding area. Great base for Abel Tasman &Golden Bay. Andy & Karen were... More

My partner and I stayed in one of the one bedroom chalets for two nights and had a very relaxing time and would definitely recommend staying here. On arrvial Andy came and introduced himself and made us feel very welcome. Our chalet had great views over the bay to Nelson and the hot-tub was a fantastic bonus. The chalet itself... More

High expectations from all reviews, but we ranked it the worst accommodation of 14 places we stayed in NZ. Sure location is good, hot tub and pool, but chalet was pretty tired and run down with broken pots and kitchen needed a facelift., shower pretty basic miserable affair. Sitting and bedrooms needed refurb or good clean and dirty laundry room.... More

So sorry to hear you were not totally satisfied with your stay here. You can be sure that we will address the issues you have raised and appreciate this feedback. Sometimes too many great reviews can raise expectation to an unrealistic level for the price bracket of the accommodation. Thanks for the reality check! Regards, Andy and Karen. More

Mapua Chalets was the perfect place to escape the hustle of the city for a few nights. The location is stunning - we could not have asked for anything better! Beautiful views, cozy and private. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed and at home. Would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend to friends and... More

Without having been to Mapua (outskirts of Nelson city) before, I was a little skeptical about staying all the way in Mapua with our family. It was quite rural - but once we have got there, my worries were all gone. This was the most tranquil place, very relaxing, very peaceful. We all loved it. We had the chalet 1... More
