Holiday Apartments in Mapua

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 pets:Pets allowed: less than 50 lbs per pet (limit 2 pets total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 2:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking allowed: in designated areas.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings.Maximum event attendees: 30.
