★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved our holiday in Rata cottage, and really enjoyed sitting out on the covered verandah in the evenings (which, incidentally, were blessedly free of biting insects, which was a great relief after having been bitten raw by sand flies on our journey up the west coast.)
The property is really beautiful, and we were very impressed with all the native planting around the estuary, and the gardening work being done by a team of very charming Swiss/French wwoofers. This is a very special place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We stayed at the Rata Cottage over Easter weekend. The cottage had lovely views of the vineyard and mountains (but not over the estuary - note the other cottages did). We loved having access to the kayaks and paddle boards (the estuary is beautiful to explore and safe even for beginners as it is still and shallow). The hosts were great to deal with and gave us a lovely bowl of apples from their garden. One thing to note is that there is some road noise as you are reasonably close to the highway. The cottage was well supplied and great when sunny and rainy!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We hired out all three of the cottages for 3 nights for a very special family get together. It was such a beautiful setting and everyone loved their individual cottages.
The location is very peaceful and on the water with a stunning view of the mountains looking over towards Nelson city. When the tide is in, the view is filled with serene blue hues and when it is out you can listen to the sounds and observe the flourishing bird life that live on the mudflats. (Viewing especially good over a coffee, at sunrise.)
Each cottage has it's own unique charm and they can be equally private and open depending on if you plan to hang out all together or not. The kids in our family had plenty of space to run around in and kept themselves busy playing on the giant Eucalyptus tree and in the hammock in front of Karaka cottage. The Kayaks were an added bonus and the cottages had everything you need including comfortable beds with bedding, towels, coffee plungers, salad bowls etc. There is good space for parking and we would highly recommend this gem of a find for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat and re-connection with nature. We cannot thank Elspeth enough for contributing to the memories made here, with her fine attention to detail and welcoming approach. Highly Recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place to relax - everything is put together with such care and thought.
The breakfast box is very generous with fresh baked sourdough and spectacular greengage plum jam!
Also the cutest egg cups I’ve ever seen!!
Close to Mapua for great restaurants and bars.
And would throughly recommend a massage by Jo.
Most relaxing weekend and so inspiring to see all the planting and work done to restore the estuary and take care of the birds.
Loved it - we’ll be back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Apple Pickers Cottage are a v special and unique part of New Zealand’s history. We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage are perfectly designed and very comfortable - warm and cosy with peaceful nights. We stayed in April and had beautiful weather. Miro Cottage felt very private with a beautiful aspect across the estuary - changes view throughout the day depending on the tide. Our favorite time was breakfast soaking up the morning sunshine - we recommend ordering the breakfast box. Excellent home made jams and honey from the land. Thank you Elspeth for being a wonderful host!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Apple Picker's is so beautiful, it truly is such a special place to stay. We have had the good fortune of visiting twice now, and we cannot wait to return. The cottages have been so lovingly decorated, the attention to detail is superb, they are appointed with everything you could possibly need. The only problem now is I compare everywhere else we stay in NZ to here... there is nothing else like it. Thank you, Elspeth and Kim, for sharing your gift of hospitality with us.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a fabulous experience. The cottages are a delight -Simply and beautifully furnished, the beds are really comfortable and the linen was great. We loved the vintage crockery.
The outdoor environment is stunning, with views across the tidal mudflats where you can always see at least one species of native bird feeding or floating on the silver water.
Elspeth was very friendly and helpful.
We have already booked another visit.
