House holiday rentals in Māpua

We LOVED this house!!! Fabulous, modern, immaculate house just where you want to be! Perfect for a large family/friend group. Walkable to grocery store, park, beach & bars and restaurants at The Wharf! Latest fabulous appliances, incl a barista-quality coffee maker with extra beans as a gift. Lovely showers with great pressure. Real Clean and Green NZ inside/outside living with fully retractable windows/doors. Composting out back. So key to be able to do laundry and hang in the sun and breeze! Well-designed space to sprawl/relax/play. 8-yr old loved the trampoline, swing and pool. Emma was a great communicator and gave hiking recommendations and very kindly left snacks. Could not have been happier! Thank you for sharing your home. Made the trip amazing!!

It was a challenge to find a place that would fit our close family of 16 (adults and late teenagers) to celebrate the wedding of our daughter, but I am so pleased that we found Bay Ridge. We had a fantastic time , loved the gardens , the views and heaps of space. The short and scenic drive to Kaiteriteri beach was so easy as well as the walk to the delightful split apple rock and beach. It was such a pity that due to travel / arrangements we could not stay longer. Highly recommend the place and again thanx to Annie who is a fantastic host.

Great place to stay . Very accommodating host. Is better than photos.

Wonderful stay at Matt and Lucy's. the home was well appointed with everything we needed. the pool and the spa was very good and we felt super relaxed and comfortable here. would happily recommend.

A wonderful home in a beautiful location with stunning views. We particularly enjoyed the pool, spa and being able to walk to amazing restaurants and wine bar. Sally and Wayne were friendly helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying

We loved our stay at Swim, Sun, Sleep, Repeat! The house was immaculate but also very homely. The location was in a quiet suburb of Nelson but backed onto open countryside ideal for walking out .The Sprig & Fern pub had just opened only 10 minutes walk away which was very handy when we wanted somewhere local to eat. It was a great location overall as Abel Tasman Park was only an hour away and there was plenty to visitmore locally . We loved the layout of the house with all three bedrooms at the back of the house. We understand music room could also be used as a fourth bedroom but this would need arranging ahead. The lovely upstairs lounge has an amazing view in the morning sunshine. The kitchen was very well equipped ( although we couldn’t find any kitchen scissors) We loved the modern appliances especially double dishwasher. Great pool and hot tub s. Equally the family left a great selection of games .We would love to stay again if we were ever back in New Zealand - an amazing home

It's a beautiful property and I would love to come again. I have left my shoes behind and Karla help me to.get it back.😊 Appreciate.

On arrival the bach was unfortunately not ready for us, but this was due to an oversight by the cleaner, not Emma. Emma was super quick to respond and very apologetic when we messaged about it and couldn't have been more prompt in getting things resolved which we really appreciated. After this initial blip we loved our four night stay here. The bach feels like the best of both worlds - an old family bach and the charm that comes with that, made even better with significant modernising updates like the massive glass doors, and all the other mod cons and extras (big fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer, heatpump/AC, Chromecast, etc). It is off the beaten track and feels so peaceful and private. Being so close to the sea is a real treat. We would love to come back some time in the warmer months so we can make the most of the amazing outdoor areas and pool! (just a bit too chilly for us softies to swim in it at this time of year... we did love the outdoor fireplace though!). :)

I stayed here for 6 weeks and it was a perfect place with everything you could need. The sunroom was really nice just to sit out in. I didn’t have a car but I found the area quite walkable (20 mins to the shop, 40 to the town centre). Chris and Lily were very welcoming and I would recommend staying here!

What a beautiful location! The home was quite large and perfect for our large family. Vicki was very responsive and kind -a great host. We did arrive to an abnormally cold snap in Nelson, but we're able to warm up with the wood stove in the living room. There were plenty of warm blankets for sleeping. We used the one portable electric heater in the bedroom where we had our infant in a crib (since she couldn't bundle up) and it worked great! We would certainly book again!

Jamie was a wonderful host. She was very informative it was always available if we had any questions. We absolutely loved this place. We had kids with us that loved the chickens and enjoy the patio out back. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. very impressed! For us in New Zealand this has been our favorite place to stay! would definitely recommend!

Amazing news Nelson in a very comfortable house. The kitchen was super well appointed, and there was even a nice view from the kitchen sink. plenty of parking, both outdoors and in a garage. Walkable to the waterfront if you can handle a deep hill. Just a few minutes drive central Nelson.

Loved our stay, very relaxing and comfortable. Friendly neighbour's and a lovely kitchen, appreciated having some spices to add to our meal. Recommend walking or driving up Harris Hill just across the road. Beautiful views. Thankyou Murray 😁 😁

Jacqui was the perfect host and very responsive and flexible with our stay. The view from the terrace is simply stunning and the space is so sociable, great for families or group of friends. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect place to stay, very clean and tidy, comfortable and very well equipped. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect stay for our family of 4! We loved the estuary views from the living room and kitchen. It was a quick and easy walk into town. The kids loved the trampoline and table tennis. The house was well appointed with all we needed. One of our favorite rentals during our 6 months in New Zealand, I highly recommend!

Cathy and I have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs, and Trudy’s is one of the very best! She is supremely helpful and has created a true paradise, from the exquisite garden terrace overlooking Nelson‘s river; to the spacious, tasteful interior; to the stocking of the apartment with everything you’ll need for a great stay. Trudy has overlooked nothing, and has created a fantastic base for exploring the great city of Nelson and beyond — right across from a beautiful city park and museum cafe; within walkable distance to other great coffee shops and restaurants; on the doorstep of the city’s popular river walk; and within easy striking distance of Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve and Abel Tasman National Park. And don’t forget the city’s Saturday market, one of the best you’ll see in NZ. Thanks for a wonderful stay Trudy!

Amanda’s place is amazing ! Really well equipped , spacious and comfortable. An easy walk to beautiful Kaiteriteri beach. Would love to stay again ! Thanks

John was fantastic, very accommodating of requests. House was clean, tidy and quiet.

Our 2 families had a wonderful stay at Marina's. We would highly recommend it and hope to be able to stay there again.

We had English relatives with us and a 2 year old and everyone was impressed. Nessie loved all the toys and we forgot the pram but there was a buggy for us to use!

Samara’s place was beautiful with a gorgeous view and patio overlooking the coast. It was clean and had great instructions for everything. I loved the hike into town.

The house was incredibly clean and well decorated. It had all the amenities you need for a weekend away. We loved the outdoor seating area to enjoy the sunshine. An easy drive into the city as well as local vineyards and restaurants. The lockbox made check in and out super easy. We will be back again!

This is our second stay, and it was just as great as the first. Such a relaxing and clean environment.
