About this property
No1, Water front relaxation
No1, Mapua Wharfside Apartments is ideally situated on the beautiful, scenic ,ever changing Waimea estuary by the wharf.
Great views to Rabbit Island and out to D'Urville Island.
.
Adjacant to The Beach accommodation
Morning sun on the front deck , evening sun on the rear deck
The front garden which has been left as a beach is great for playing boulles, building castles or just lazing around. It has steps leading from the front garden directly onto the beach and to 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 and 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 from Mapua 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.
Special conditions:
Pets may be allowed on request.
Cleaning is included at end of stay. Cleaning products available for guest to do their daily house keeping
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);
Great views to Rabbit Island and out to D'Urville Island.
