Hampton House is a stunning Beachfront property with breath-taking views over beautiful Ruby Bay. Relax in luxury, enjoy the magical sun rises and the close proximity to wonderful amenities and adventures. Our backyard is the ocean. It’s peaceful, never crowded and the beach walks are divine.

Mapua Wharf is about a 5-minute drive from the house and has a range of shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and cafés and a cycle hire shop. The Apple Shed is great and in a perfect location next to the water. Jellyfish Restaurant & Bar is also at the wharf and we go there as well. The Golden Bear Brewing Company has great indoor and outdoor spaces with regular live music and serves burgers & LA-style Mexican eats. I mustn’t forget to mention “The Smokehouse“ this is where you can buy delicious fish and chips. The wine bar opposite is a good place to go while you wait for the chips. On your way to Mapua Wharf you pass a few village shops. Mapua Village Bakery is awesome for Brunch, there’s also a 4-Square Supermarket which has a good range of food, fresh vegetables and wine at competitive prices. In the other direction about 15 minutes from the house is Motueka. It’s a small town with a range of everything – shops, two supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. On Sunday morning there is a Motueka Market from 8am – 1pm. I highly recommend the whitebait patties and the merino stall. I have purchased several possum jumpers from the merino stall and they are the best jumpers ever. In Motueka, Toad Hall is a great daytime Cafe and if you enjoy Thai, Lanna Thai is excellent. The Smoking Barrel is another good one. 13 kilometres from Motueka is beautiful Kaiteriteri – famous for its turquoise water and golden sand beach. Kaiteriteri is a launching place for trips into the Abel Tasman National Park and this is where you can connect for a Kayak experience or bush walks. There are several good wineries in the Tasman area. Nuedorf Vineyards, Moutere Hills, Heaphy and Seifried to name a few.
