Quail Cottage is a self contained, open plan, warm and sunny studio in seaside Mapua. With its own garden and sunny deck it overlooks Tasman Bay and Mapua Estuary, and stands alone on our 7 acre property. Quail Cottage contains all the amenities for that special hideaway holiday or longer stay. Despite the rural setting it is only a 5 minute walk to the village centre with a small supermarket, the Village Bakery and the boutique brewer Sprig & Fern bar & restaurant. A 10 minute walk takes you to the Wharf with the well known restaurants Jellyfish, Apple Shed and the Smokehouse, and another micro-brewery The Golden Bear. Here also are shops, cafes, a wine bar and you can catch the ferry to Rabbit Island or hire a bike for the trails. The Boatshed Cafe & Bar at the Leisure Park is also not far away. Mapua is well situated for access to vineyards, potteries, the Abel Tasman National Park, beaches, mountains and rivers - and the new cycle trail. Please note: if using Google's Driving Instructions, please disregard the final "turn into Viewland Place". We are on Higgs Rd, #35 - pink geraniums at the letterbox.
