Located at the sea front in Mapua Holiday Park. Just walk or drive straight to the end. Sits right on the water. Beautiful food for lunch or dinner. Although the kids have lots of fun playing on the beach and at the playwark in the holiday park, there are no food options for kids on the menu. Can order a bowl of fries or a tapa if they like foods a little on the unusual side.

This place has won best restaurant in NZ for two years. The food is nice, service is good. Outdoor dining area is fantastic. Make sure you go on a warm day and you generally need to book. They have a great kids menu, play area, and kids can feed the eels. Not open in the evening. Located 7minutes drive from Mapua heading out past Ruby Bay. If you are feeling ambitious you could hire a bike from the wharf and bike on the bike track. They use organic produce and have compost toilets so if that's not your thing, perhaps go first, but don't miss this place out.

Located off the main highway on the way from Richmond to Mapua. Great during the day for lunch or a platter. Lovely bush area for kids to play around. The place turns into a theatre at night so keep your eyes peeled for shows they have on. They do offer a shuttle from mapua, but must be pre-booked, and only available if they can spare the staff.

Everything you need. Most basic items are an ok price. I wouldn't bother driving to a large supermarket unless you buying for over a week. Fruit & Veges are fresher and better price down at the country store. Post mail, sells, wine, beer also.
