Stylish, large, new, sunny, private, children-friendly designer eco-home, 4 bdrm Copper Gate features a distinctly 'arty' NZ flavour on a farmlet with stunning valley, sea and mountain views. Set in 7 acres of fields and fruit trees near Mapua seaside village, Copper Gate is creatively themed around heritage NZ domesticity yet has smart, ultra-modern design. French doors open onto decks with Seaton Valley, sea and mountain views beyond. 1 or 3 bdrm options for Copper Gate off-peak - close off the other 3 bedrooms and stay in the Paris Suite for a romantic getaway at a reduced rate. Copper Gate is built with sustainability and family-friendly principles in mind. We value our natural environment (open spaces, birds and native trees). We have spray-free orchards – grab a lemon for your G&T on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit. Solar panels, super insulation and sunny design make this an ideal 1-2 family destination or a romantic haven for 2 (1 bdrm Paris Room option POA). Children welcome – Copper Gate is fenced and there is a playground, treehut, chickens/sheep. Combine with Corru Gate (3bdrm cottage) or Kissing Gate (glamping site). No smoking or smokers.
Adele and Roger love sharing their slice of Nelson paradise. We enjoy the beaches, art, wineries and national parks - all SO close to us. At Copper Gate, with 7 acres, you can be assured of privacy and space.
Use our cycle fleet to explore the Great Taste Trail - NZ's premier cycle trail on Copper Gate's doorstep. Mapua seaside village, with it's beaches, artisans, boutique brewery/shops and gorgeous vineyards, olive groves and wide open countryside is a delight to explore - and so close to Abel Tasman and Nelson.
