Superb location near the beach
Light, sunny and airy bach. Well equipped for a family and quiet neighbourhood. Stones throw is a great name as literally a few steps and you are on the beach, which is fun for the kids and a good beach for a swim too. Will stay again!

Property great. Agent 110%. Evening music and noise from neighbours having evening social gatherings took the shine off.

We loved our stay..A great location to relax after exploring the Tasman district. Less than 2 minutes and your on the beach, a 20 minute walk and you are at the Mapua Wharf. Thank you for allowing us to stay with our dog.. Can’t wait to come back.

Great base for travel to many Tasman areas
Nice quiet property, handy to so many places - Mapua, Kina, Motueka, Nelson, Golden Bay, Kaiteriteri. House was well equipped but could use a fan as the upstairs can get very warm. Thankfully we took one with us just in case and it was well used. Only 2 minute walk to the beach, but it's stony and not great for swimming... although some local hardy souls took a quick dip most days. Great that we could take our dog with us but sadly so many of the great beaches, like Rabbit Island, do not allow dogs on the beach.
