4 Bedroom House in Upper Moutere, Mapua (Ruby Bay)
Immaculate, spacious, modern, sunny, arty, private and semi-luxurious eco-home.

Kissing Gate escape is also available - search online for this one (not on Bookanach). All 3 places feature a 'creative' NZ flavour on a farmlet with stunning valley, sea and mountain views. Set in 7 acres of fields and fruit trees near Māpua seaside village, Copper Gate is creatively themed in heritage NZ domesticity yet has smart, ultra-modern design.
Modern, roomy kitchen with all you'll need to cook up fresh local produce: induction stovetop, oven, blender etc. BBQ too.
Languish in your private outdoor bath under the stars; there is an indoor bath and showers too.
French doors open onto decks with gorgeous valley, sea and mountain views beyond. Lounge in the bath under stars - being rural this is a dark sky 'heaven.' 1 or 3 bdrm options for Copper Gate - close off the other 3 bedrooms and stay in the Paris Suite for a romantic getaway at a reduced rate, yet have sole occupancy of house. See the separate Paris Suite listing.
Corru Gate + Copper Gate + Kissing Gate are built with sustainability, artistic expression and romance in mind, yet Copper Gate and Corru Gate are also family friendly. Built as a social enterprise/eco-project, Copper Gate is one of NZ's most eco of eco-homes. Value the natural environment (open spaces, birds, native trees) and spray-free orchards – grab a lemon for your G&T on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit or free-range eggs (in season). Solar panels, superinsulation and sunny design make this an ideal 1-2 family destination - or a romantic haven for two in the 1 bdrm Paris Suite (your exclusive occupancy of the building though). Children welcome – Copper Gate is fenced and there is a playground, chickens and tame sheep and SPACE. Owners 150m away for advice. Babysitter list too!
