Karaka Cottage at The Apple Pickers' Cottages. | House in Mapua (Ruby Bay)
2 Bedroom House in Mapua, Mapua (Ruby Bay)
Karaka cottage was built for apple pickers in the 1950s.It has been carefully renovated, retaining it's simplicity and natural charm while adding contemporary comforts. The apple orchard has been transformed into a haven of organic fruit trees, vegetable gardens and regenerating native coastal forest. It's a great place to relax into the rhythm of the tides, the wildlife, the weather, yet still be only 5 minutes drive from cafés and restaurants in the coastal village of Mapua.
A large covered verandah and private garden lead to the estuary shore. The outdoor bath is beautiful in the morning with the sun streaming through the trees, and amazing on a clear night with a starry sky.
We have five acres of organic garden, fruit trees and regenerating native bush. You can choose your favourite quiet spot to read, relax, or have a picnic. It is a perfect place to enjoy the pleasures of a bach holiday with good books, board games, barbecue, hammock, and endless views to gaze at.
Karaka Cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Nelson/Tasman region. There are so many options for day trips: for hiking there is a choice of three National Parks (Kahurangi, Nelson Lakes and Abel Tasman), for swimming there are beautiful golden sand beaches and rivers, for cycling there is a huge variety of trails, and for gourmands there is endless foraging for wine, artisan food and craft beer .
