About this property

Coastal Calm | Luxe Stay with Views, Bath & Fire.



Welcome to Pohutukawa Farm, a peaceful coastal escape nestled on a lifestyle block above the calm waters of the Māpua Inlet. This private, self-contained apartment offers a gentle mix of comfort, quiet lux, and connection to nature—just a short drive from the vibrant village of Māpua.

Flooded with natural light, the space is designed with intention—soft textures, thoughtful details, and sweeping views over the land and inlet. The fully equipped kitchen features gas hobs and everything you need to cook and share a beautiful meal—it’s a space made with food lovers in mind. Outdoors, there’s a barbecue area and room to dine alfresco, perfect for slow evenings and summer feasts.

After dinner, soak in your private bath under the stars, or unwind beside the outdoor fire as evening settles in.

When the tide is full, take a kayak out for a peaceful paddle on the inlet, or hop on one of our modern vintage-style bikes and cruise into the village to explore the local cafés, galleries, and coastal trails. While the pōhutukawa trees greet you further up the driveway, you’ll still be immersed in birdsong, sea breezes, and the slow rhythm of the land.

The apartment features two elevated mezzanine sleeping spaces—one accessed by a wooden and steel staircase, the other by a steel stair. While both offer cosy, light-filled nooks, they may not be suitable for elderly guests or very young children.

It’s a place to pause, breathe deeply, and feel truly at ease.
⭐️ Other things to note : 📝
You’ll find a container of magnesium bath salts beside the outdoor bath—feel free to sprinkle in a generous handful and soak under the stars.

There’s a small herb garden you’re welcome to use—perfect for adding a fresh touch to your cooking.

We’ve stocked plenty of firewood, and everything you’ll need to get the outdoor fire going for cosy evenings outside.

You’ll also find quality linen, eco-conscious products, and a few thoughtful extras to make your stay feel relaxed, comfortable, and just a little bit special.

We love seeing our guests enjoy themselves—make yourself at home and have a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Laurence Malcolm

Host profile image
I’m originally from the North Island, but I’ve called this beautiful corner of the South home for over 30 years. Owen and I live on what’s been our family property for decades – a place filled with memories, connection, and now, shared moments with our guests.

Hosting is something I genuinely love. There’s something really special about preparing a space with care and then watching others relax into it. It’s not just about providing a place to stay – it’s about creating a feeling. I get joy from the little touches, the warm welcomes, and the chance to help people experience the calm, luxe pace of life we enjoy here every day.

Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, we hope our home gives you the same sense of ease and beauty it gives us.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Pōhutukawa Farm – a peaceful spot nestled above the Waimea Inlet, where big skies meet rolling green, and the views stretch all the way to the water’s edge. From sunrise to golden hour, this place glows with natural beauty and calm.

What we love most about living here is how life slows down. Mornings start with birdsong and soft light over the inlet. Evenings are for wine on the deck, a soak in the outdoor tub, and watching the sky turn every shade of pastel. There’s a rhythm to this place that’s easy to fall into – quiet, grounded, and gently luxe.

The property is just a few minutes from the heart of Māpua, but it feels like a world of its own. We love the creative, down-to-earth energy of the village – the wharf, the wine bars, the coastal walks – all part of why we’ve stayed here for so long. It’s a place that gives back, and we’re grateful to share a little piece of it with you.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is its calm, luxe feel paired with the warmth of a lived-in space. Nestled above the Waimea Inlet with ever-changing views, it’s a private retreat designed to bring a sense of ease and quiet indulgence.

The apartment is part of our home, yet completely self-contained and thoughtfully styled. Expect high ceilings, soft natural light, and curated touches throughout – from the organic linens to the magnesium bath salts by the outdoor tub.

It’s the little things that set it apart: herbs in the garden for your morning eggs, birdsong at sunrise, and a space that simply feels good to be in. We’ve created it as a place to unwind and reconnect – where calm meets comfort in a truly luxe, grounded way.
