A perfect stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days at Corru Gate. The cottage was lovely - everything as shown and described on line. The location was accessible to activities of interest in the area, but tucked away just enough to be peaceful - and great stargazing!

About the host

Hosted by rogell664

We have loved raising our children on this 7 acre Nelson paradise. We love sharing the orchards and fields and special places with guests.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a lifestyle that blended country living with access to the city, national parks and cafes, artisans, wineries, cycling. Our wee seaside village of Mapua provides an opportunity to be part of a vibrant community.

What makes this property unique

Lovely farmlet with tame sheep, chickens and places to explore. Rural, sea, mountain views from farm. Perfect location midway between Nelson and Kaiteriteri/Abel Tasman National Park. Located right on the Great Taste Trail. Rural yet just 4 minutes from wonderful coffee, Nelson's best restaurants on the Mapua Wharf, artisans, beaches, walks.
