The Gates Accommodation Mapua Nelson: The Big Shift Ends

November 21 2013. This is a spectacle. Copper Gate took 5 hours to be trucked out from NMIT, Nelson. It is now snugly sitting on site awaiting 5 weeks of feverish completion. Check out the video and the PERFECT placement.

"Thank you Roger and Adele for a wonderful stay! This was the perfect escape from Wellington for our family plus the grandparents over from the UK. Stunning weather, beautiful house, great fun feeding the sheep and chickens and the added bonus of lots of exploring and hidden treehouses! This is one of our favourite parts of the country and it never disappoints.

Thanks again.

Andrea, Peter, Sammy, Thalia, Ben + Martin and Pauline"

“Just wanted to say thanks again for the accommodation last week. I can’t imagine why anyone chooses to stay in pokey soulless little motel / hotel units when there are places like yours available. You guys have created a place with wonderful atmosphere there at Corru Gate. A pity we couldn’t have stayed for longer. “

“A wonderfully quiet, warm, comfortable retro-quirky bach. A fantastic place to retreat from the world, but only minutes from restaurants, shopping and beaches - a memorable few days.” A, Christchurch.

“Thank you for providing such a peaceful and stylish haven.” R & M, Dunedin.

“Thankyou, thankyou. A fantastic stay in a very comfortable, central, child-friendly cottage. We love it (especially the super king sized bed. Joy! We’ll be placing an order when we get home.)” A & A. Hanmer Springs.

“Great weather, great times, great beaches, great water slide in your paddock, & great hosts – thanks so very much- hope to meet again at Corru Gate another day!” J & A, Christchurch.

“At Corru Gate we discovered everything that we most enjoy about holiday accommodation; peace and privacy in the lovely courtyard and strolling through the property (P was delighted to see lambs). We loved all the cool creative arty touches as well as the contemporary design of the cottage. Enjoyed the bath and very efficient “pot belly” – really cozy at night! Thankyou, we’ve had a great weekend.” G, M and P West Coast.

“We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.” A & H. Melbourne.
