Where do I begin?! The accommodation is in three self-contained units jutting out over a manmade pond in a location near to Mapua but completely off the beaten track. There's a large living room/ dining area/well equipped kitchen, a separate bedroom and a lovely deck over the water. There's also a BBQ outside at the back and plenty of parking.... More

We arrived at Aporo Ponsiders after a very long journey and from the moment we arrived, we knew we were someplace special. Apart from the lovely, quiet setting, what really makes this place amazing is the hospitality of the owner Marion. She was totally prepared for our young children's arrival, providing sand pails, lifejackets, and excellent suggestions to keep them... More

We spent 3 nights of our 3 week vacation at this unique B&B situated over a pond. The 3 room B&B is very quiet and located in a secluded spot. Lots of natural beauty right off your deck. The innkeeper is very friendly, helpful and serves a great breakfast. Would recommend it to anyone staying near Nelson. More

We stayed at Aporo this past weekend as a base for the Wearable Art show. The units are very comfortable and thoughtfully furnished and equiped. Cooked breakfasts were delivered to our unit and were delicious and generous. The hosts are charming yet respected our privacy and they know the region intimately. We were pleased to be staying in this quiet... More
