Matahua Cottages/ Miro, $150 - $175
Apple Valley Road East, Mapua, Nelson
Ref #: 2375
Miro is a 1 bedroom self-contained cottage situated at the waters edge of the beautiful Waimea Estuary. The estuary is famous for its wading and migratory birds: pied stilts, oyster-catchers and herons are daily visitors on your doorstep.
Private and tranquil, Miro is perfectly equipped for a relaxing holiday with hammocks, good books, board games, barbecue, brazier, kayak, and endless views to gaze at. The cottage is very cosy in winter with a woodburner (firewood and kindling supplied).
The cottage has wireless broadband and good cellphone coverage.
The coastal village of Mapua is less than 5 minutes drive away. Its busy wharf has cafés and restaurants and several galleries representing local artists. The village has a grocery store, bakery and a choice of pubs.
Miro is a very popular base for day trips to the Abel Tasman National Park. Kahurangi and Nelson Lakes National Parks are also within easy driving distance for day walks. Located in the centre of the Nelson region the choices are endless: visiting wineries, artists studios, rivers and beaches for swimming, kayaking, tramping, sky diving, trout fishing and more.
Sunday Star-Times columnist (and avid bird-watcher) Steve Braunias declared the Matahua Cottages to be the "Best Holiday Cottages in New Zealand".
