Andrew & Claudia have a great place to stay it is very private and secluded amongst native trees. Andrew has some good local tips on the best place to eat and have coffee in Mapua.
Their home is very central about a 5-10 minute walk to the wharf area and the ferry to Moturoa ( Rabbit Island ) which is an excellent place to visit especially on a bicycle which Andrew kindly provided. I would stay at their home again if I was in Mapua.
