The charming coastal village of Mapua is located at the heart of Tasman Bay, at the mouth of the Waimea Inlet, the largest estuary in the South Island.

Mapua offers visitors a quiet sanctuary with a number of arts and crafts stores, galleries and waterfront cafes serving fare from the sea. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a delectable seafood feast at sunset on Mapua's historic wharf. From the wharf, there are opportunities for jet boating, sea kayaking, mountain biking and viewing the region's birdlife.
