Location: Nelson, Nelson, New Zealand, South Pacific (20 mins to Nelson airport)
Accommodations: Holiday Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Twisted Pine Cottage, coastal seaside holiday accommodation, is the perfect hideaway and an idyllic setting from which to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Mapua by day or marvel at the clear starry skies at night.
Perched on a hillside with a panoramic view of the Mapua estuary and the distant Richmond Ranges. Twisted Pine Cottage is part of a ten-acre property with sloping lawns down to a private stretch of 'beach' along the estuary. The 'workers' cottage has been totally rebuilt, decorated with style and filled with an eclectic mix of furnishings. It has a fully equipped brand new kitchen and bathroom.
Only 20 minutes from Nelson, the creative heart of the region, and 15 minutes from Motueka, the cottage is the perfect base from which to explore and enjoy all that Tasman Bay has to offer. It is just a five-minute drive to Mapua Village wharf, shops, and award-winning restaurants.

Homeowner Response:
Dear Karen, I just received your feedback and you are the first negative response we’ve had over the two years since we started. I will apologise for the lack of soap as it is supplied I did not check the cottage again after the cleaner had finished. It would have just taken a moment for you to ask me when I came to see you to ask if everything was in order and if there was anything you needed. We however do have ample recycled plastic bags for rubbish in the bottom of the pantry cupboard and there was a big rubbish bin outside the cottage. The majority of renters for holiday cottages in New Zealand disposed of their own rubbish when they leave especially in rural areas. Guest who stay for a week normally buy the council rubbish bags when they do their grocery shopping so I hope you did not make a special trip. Best regards Pauline
