Felt like we were a million miles away, but only 20mins from home. Emma’s Bach is fabulous, everything you need, spacious and the sunrise was amazing over the beautiful still water. Easy walk down into Mapua. Thank you for sharing your space with us. ##### Olivia B. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim C. 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome venue for fun times We loved the location and the indoor/outdoor areas compelled us to cook in instead of heading to one of the many incredible restaurants at Mapua which we'd been looking forward to. That tells you how good it felt. It has a great outdoor fire and covered seating area which was perfect at the end of a cycling day and heading into a cooler autumn evening. It worked well after we tidied it up although there is no lighting out there once it gets dark. It sleeps 9 with bunkbed options and there were 8 of us/4 couples. A bit of a squeeze and only one bathroom - all of which we knew beforehand and made work. ##### Kim C.
