Our sleepout is located next to our family home on our peaceful 1-hectare property. The space is artistic and tranquil, surrounded by established fruit trees and plenty of room for families to explore and play. Location & Environment: The beach is right opposite the house, and the charming village of Mapua is just a 2-minute drive away. Our sleepout is nestled next to a forest where you'll likely see Tuis, Kererus, and many other native birds. Perfect Base for Adventures: It's an ideal space to relax before and/or after hiking in the Abel Tasman National Park, which is only 30 minutes away. Sleepout Features: The sleepout includes a queen-size bed, a table, and a drawer for storage. Separate Facilities: About 7 metres from the sleepout, you'll have private access to a kitchenette and a bathroom. These facilities are part of our main house but have a separate, secure entrance that remains locked during your stay. You'll have complete privacy with no shared spaces. Come enjoy a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature while having easy access to beaches, hiking trails, and local amenities.

My name is Francesco, I am originally from Italy, and I've lived in New Zealand since 2016. I enjoy good food, football, family, friends, nature and spirituality. I can support and host others only if I care for myself. I feel blessed to have the opportunity of hosting people from all over the world. I enjoy creating connections and offering our guests a place where they can relax, be nurtured and find inspiration for their journey.

We're located in a safe, friendly community in the beautiful Tasman region, offering a peaceful base with easy access to everything you need.

You can hire bikes to explore the area, take the ferry across the canal to Rabbit Island, or enjoy a refreshing jump off the wharf. Local Facilities: Just two minutes away, you'll find a playground, tennis courts, skatepark, and park - perfect for families and active visitors. Location: Our sleepout is on the famous Great Taste Trail, ideal for cycling through scenic New Zealand landscapes. Nelson is only 30 minutes away for shopping and dining. And the Abel Tasman is not so far either: 30 minutes by car to access the beautiful national park.
