Terra Nostra, hotel in Mapua

Terra Nostra is located in Mapua, just 20 miles from Christ Church Cathedral and 20 miles from Trafalgar Park. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking, and free Wifi.

It was very cozy and a walk from the ferry which we came over on our bikes. It was an easy walk into town and the harbor. Quiet neighborhood. Having the outside patio table and umbrella and the privacy was quite special. We wished we had planned to stay longer.

    Stunningly beautiful! Everyone should visit. Beautiful place. The Apple Shed had friendly staff & food was very fresh and yummy! Alberta’s was the best breakfast ever! Walking & biking is easy around Māpua. People are very friendly in this quaint place.

    Our stay was outside Christmas, New Year and school holidays, so quiet. Had no issues getting meals at Mapua Wharf, plenty to choose from. Great base for Golden Bay and Nelson. Love taking the ferry to Rabbit Island and biking.

    I have stayed in Mapua many times while holidaying in the region. Its a perfect spot if you don't want to be in the more metropolitan Nelson/Richmond areas but still have all the facilities at hand that you want on a holiday - restaurants, cafes, shops, pub, supermarket, petrol etc etc while still only being half an hour away from Nelson etc

    We've been to Mapua before.

    We've been to Mapua before. It's off the beaten track to an extent but still has all the facilities you might want. It gets quite busy with tourists, both domestic and overseas, in summer. However, by the end of April this year it was just right with no problems getting a table at any of the restaurants yet they weren't dead either. Cyclists/walkers be aware that the Mapua Ferry winter timetable (weekends and school hols only) cuts in on the first week in May. We intended cycling in to Richmond but were scuppered by the lack of a ferry crossing.

    Lovely relaxed area.

    Lovely relaxed area. Good shopping and a variety of restaurants available. The Apple Shed resturant was great Only downside was that the restaurants closed early Monday night but we found a great pub that was quiet and food was very nice.

    Breakfast was awesome and always served with a smile and a chat. Beautiful healthy homemade muesli, fruit and yoghurt and two other kinds of cereal to choose from; toast, croissants with locally made jams and marmalade. A cooked breakfast of bacon and eggs was also available. Orange juice, tea and coffee. The convenient location in Mapua made everything within a walking distance. The surrounding gardens are park-like and tranquil. The spa is positioned overlooking the lake and far enough away from the rooms to not bother the other guests.

    Mark and Simona were very friendly and helpful. I was cycling the coastal route of The Great Taste Trail solo and the studio was a perfect place to base myself for two nights. It's modern with a very comfortable bed (I slept well) and less than 10 minutes bike ride to Mapua village and Mapua Wharf. I loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset by the beach. Hopefully I can return during a summer to make the most of being right by the beach.

    This place is a little slice of heaven. Chrissie and John were the best hosts. The view from the room was beautiful. Fresh fruit was growing outside in the garden. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was yummy. Very close to wharf and restaurants. We will definitely come back again to explore the wineries. So cool that the host was from Gravesend, Kent. Small world! Thank you! Richard & Michelle

    Wonderful unit, clean, comfortable with a nice outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the gardens. The host Nicky is great, and provided a picnic basket full of breakfast items outside our door/patio in the morning. Highly recommend. While you are in Mapua, a short ride to the small scenic harbor will lead you to some good restaurants. We ate at the Apple Shed, it was also very good. Good NZ wine list.

    We were made really welcome and Sally went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and a range of of lovely dishes. If you get the chance, taste her home made shortbread. The best I have ever eaten. Thank you both for your hospitality and rest assured if and when we visit Mapua next, we would be happy to stay with you again. Joan and John.

    First class accommodation. Very well presented and some thoughtful extras like TWO suitcase stands. I was by myself but I am used to travelling with my wife and we have a suitcase each, so two stands is brilliant. There were very nice fixings for breakfast and it was only 5 minutes walk to the wharf.
