    We had a great two night stay. The place is aesthetically very unique, and looks unreal in person. Love the overhead lighting in the main room, small details like plants and pottery pieces. It offers plenty of outdoor seating area.

Welcome to the Waterlily Cottage! Nestled in the heart of Mapua, we offer boutique accommodation for two in our stylish and cozy Balinese-inspired studio apartment, perfect for relaxation and unwinding. For a unique experience, you can book a pottery lesson with Natalie, and we'll have your finished, fired pieces couriered to you. Mapua has so much to offer, and we'd love to share our little corner of it with you.
Alex is German, and Natalie is from New Zealand. We love to travel and can't wait to welcome you as our guest! We're here to offer plenty of local insights or assist with anything you might need, while also respecting your privacy.
Mapua is a charming coastal village located in the heart of New Zealand's Tasman region, known for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning natural beauty. It's a hub for art, food, and outdoor activities, with the bustling Mapua Wharf offering boutique shops, galleries, and excellent waterfront dining. Visitors can explore local wineries, cycle along the Great Taste Trail, or take a ferry to Rabbit Island for a beach day. The nearby Moutere Hills and Abel Tasman National Park offer hiking and scenic adventures, making Mapua a perfect blend of coastal charm and outdoor exploration.
