Mapua
Mapua village is a 5 minute drive down the hill and has many amenities you might expect from a local community; well stocked Four Square, pharmacy, garage, tennis courts as well as multiple options for eating out and takeaways. Mapua Wharf has become a destination in its own right with various galleries and shops as well as eateries. Jump off the wharf, take the ferry to Rabbit Island or meander along the beach; it's a very appealing spot!
