Idyllic getaway
Really good location, lots to do. 3 golf courses nearby and lovely cafes. Do go into the shop just prior to turning as it has some really cool things, you'll be surprised.

Perfect family holiday spot
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.

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 :)

We loved this home!
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.

Best hosts in New Zealand, the house is amazing, the property is perfect and the views are stunning.
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.

The property was very easy to find and close to all the things that we enjoy doing. The house itself was delightful and felt like a home away from home, it had every amenity that you could hope for and was very clean and well cared for. We loved our stay at Coppergate and just wish we could afford to repeat the experience!

There were 11 of us staying together - all tall ask but Coppergate & Corrugate provided the right mix of accommodation for all of us. We had superb weather for our cycling and walking holiday so we were able to make the most of the lovely sunny deck at the front of Coppergate. The Gates has three very different and interesting accommodation options.

This is an absolutely top-drawer holiday home.
This is an absolutely top-drawer holiday home. Warm, spacious, and modern. It has a lovely feel and is very well appointed with art, furnishings, and appliances. You know the place is quality when the kitchen knives are sharp! Great location too - very peaceful outlook yet close to Mapua and vineyards, berry farms, beaches... A+: would (and will) rent again.

This was a great location for kids.
This was a great location for kids. We were two families staying at Coppergate, with each having a child under 4. Feeding the chickens and sheep each day was a highlight, and there were lots of kid friendly activities in the area. The nearby animal farm was a BIG hit!
For the adults, this was a great launching pad for hikes in Abel Tasman, bike rides to nearby wineries, and great meals down at Mapua Wharf.
We would definitely stay here again!
