BOOKINGS NO LONGER TAKEN THROUGH VRBO/HOMEAWAY/BOOKABACH Gorgeous up-market style retreat with luxury cottage plus Outlander Cabin large bedroom hut plus Ruby, our lovingly restored award-winning retro caravan nestled in a private glade beside a small lake on a 7 acre farmlet and themed with indulgence and romance. Luxuriate in the outdoor bath with bubbly and beau - serenaded by frogs and native birds - explore the organic orchards and fields; admire the whimsical artwork; recline beside the pond; feed the tame sheep; cruise on our cycles on the Great Taste Trail to local wineries, cafes, artisans, beaches. Wander our open spaces, enjoying the birdlife and bush. Enjoy delicious citrus and fruit after a farm walk or along country lanes. Kissing Gate has a 2-person glass shower, a full kitchen and dining - and of course beautifully appointed Ruby and the Outlander Cabin. Ruby exudes elegant luxuriance and has a super-comfortable queen bed. The large Cabin has a king bed, couch and beautiful accoutrements and overlooks the lake. Winter is a speciality with electric blankets, heaters and TWO fireplaces - under starry skies or in the cottage. Kissing Gate is in cycling heaven amongst quiet country roads winding through olive groves and vineyards. Catch the ferry to Rabbit Island. Ride 2km to Mapua seaside village with its cafes, artisans, craft brewery, live music, and stunning inlet. Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park are 30 minutes away. "Thank you so much for your hospitality - Kissing Gate was the best place we stayed in the Sth Island for our honeymoon! You were both so sweet and welcoming! You've created a wonderfully unique and charming slice of heaven here in Mapua. We enjoyed our bottle of champagne in every little hangout spot you created here - cheers! We loved making breakfast in the kitchen, listening to the birds and the frogs. We made a fire both nights and took a bath under the stars - it was magical. We had a blast cycling through the countryside and tasting wines along the way. Our favourite was Neudorf Winery ... WOW" CandJ
