Summary: What a fantastic time we had at Copper Gate! Thanks Roger and Adele, it's a beautiful spot. Peaceful and quiet, and ideally located to explore the region. Our kids loved the family sized trampoline, and feeding the sheep and chickens. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was great to know the owners were close by if we wanted to ask for any help or advice, but were very respectful of our privacy if we were happy to go under our own steam. Thanks again.

Summary: The ideal place to unwind after our ( 8 adults) Abel Tasman walk. Well designed and beautifully appointed ( thanks to Adele's flare for decor), it is maintained to a very high standard allowing us to feel totally relaxed. The house has everything you need and more, with many beautiful treasures dotted throughout. The rural setting is restful and the friendly sheep an unexpected source of entertainment. Mapua itself was a pleasant discovery, and we would definitely stay at Coppergate again :)

Summary: We loved this home! The owners were lovely, and our young kids loved exploring the property - particularly the chickens and sheep which are really tame. The house is perfect - modern and clean with everything you could need. A really relaxing weekend and we will stay again if holidaying in Mapua.

Summary: Best hosts in New Zealand, the house is amazing, the property is perfect and the views are stunning. Family of 4 loved our time at the farm and the hosts were a try wealth of information. The sheepy and chickens were a highlight for my kids, but the ease of the house and modern appliances worked for us. Also, GO SEE THE GLOW WORMS, FREE AND AWESOME. Roger mapped out the rest of our South Island road trip and it was amazing. Also their new GLAMPING site looks killer. GO THERE you won't regret it.
