Mapua Wharf

Fish and chips at The Smokehouse. Had deep sea cod . Never heard of it before. It was delicious. Along with fried Camembert (also delicious) and pineapple fritter. Not the cheapest fish and chip shop, but the quality was great and thoroughly enjoyable. Tip: If you want a wine or beer, you can eat outside at the Rimu wine bar.

Mapua Wharf have great craft beer place, also Spring+Fern Brew Beer bar. Mapua Wharf have plenty of food and shop options . If you are visiting Nelson or Abel Tasman, Must visit place. Just 5-7 min before Motueka, about 20 min drive from Nelson. Parking available. Local arts and craft shops on the wharf are great. Food options Including Golden Bear Beer, Fish and Chips, Ice cream and artisan stores will give you plenty to spend time on. Can also hire Bike (Cycle) and do a wine and brew tour in the region for a day in Mapua and Tasman. Full family fun, Nice drive, public toilets, and picnic areas.

We arrived here in the late afternoon. Most of the shops and stores were closed. We ordered fish and chips for afternoon tea and enjoyed the view in a peaceful environment. It wasn't busy here on late Friday afternoon. Advise visiting a bit earlier so you could order a glass of wine, ice cream, or coffee, enjoying the moment of peace.

Very nice little village, great eateries and lots of parking

Cafes, pub, restaurants, boutique shopping....all in one of the most picturesque locations I have ever been. Even in a sunny winter day in July you can't beat it. Worth the drive.
