Fun, relax, exercise or chill, Mapua has it for all moods and all ages! The Wharfside Apartments are ideally situated on the beautiful, scenic ,ever changing Waimea estuary by the wharf. `Once a busy coastal freight wharf, during the orchard heyday, Mapua wharf is now the focal point for locals and holiday makers. Here you can enjoy the Cafe & Restaurant culture, arts and crafts, boutique brewery, listen to the occasional live music and watch the world go by, or be at peace, relax and self- cater within the comfort of the light and airy well equipped apartment or BBQ on the private decks. Fill your days with a peaceful morning kayak, afternoon swim or an evening fishing. Jumping off the wharf as the tide goes out is a great local sport, a speedy, fun ride for all ages! .The Great Taste of Tasman cycle trail runs from Nelson to Kaiteriteri, through Mapua. Take the ferry across to Rabbit Island where you can picnic on the golden sands, cycle the gentle loop or carry on the trail to Nelson. Suitable for all ages and abilities.

The Tasman Cycle Trail was the working name of a new trail, now known as Tasman’s Great Taste Trail that will eventually run from Nelson through Richmond to Rabbit Island and now links by ferry to Mapua and the Ruby Coast. It now continues to Motueka, Riwaka and along the Motueka River and onwards to Kaiteriteri. The trail will offer an easy to ride surface and gradient similar to the Otago Central Rail Trail and will cater for a wider range of cyclists (and walkers). As stages of the trail are completed it will eventually offer a choice of day rides or a multiday cycle holiday with a series of overnight stops within the region.
