Self-contained cottage accommodation on 5 hectares at Ruby Bay, near Māpua, in the Tasman district. The cottages look out over sea and mountains, and the site is set up for people who want to rest in peace and privacy.
The two cottages are Apple Cottage, a spacious self-contained cottage with views, and Double View Cottage, a spacious holiday home with views of the mountains of Kahurangi National Park and Tasman Bay. Guests can relax on the property or head out to the wineries, artist galleries, cafés, restaurants and golf courses that the website lists nearby.
The location suits a visit that mixes rest with day trips. The website says Abel Tasman National Park and Nelson City are each about 35 minutes away, and Māpua's seaside township is close by.
The property is at 39 Pippin Lane, Ruby Bay, on the Nelson side of Māpua. Our pick in Ruby Bay for a quiet stay with views and a short drive to the national park.
