Just 30 minutes from Nelson City, the charming seaside villages of Māpua & Ruby Coast are increasingly becoming favourite holiday spots for tourists and locals alike. With a lively cluster of restaurants, art galleries, wine bars and a craft brewery, Māpua is the perfect place to relax and unwind for a long weekend away.

Hire a bike and cycle Tasman's Great Taste Trail, which stretches from central Nelson through to Motueka. Just offshore, Rabbit Island offers a treat for mountain bikers with a network of trails just waiting to be explored. A little ferry departs Māpua Wharf regularly for the Island, with room for passengers and their bikes.
