Experience traditional, clean and comfortable hospitality, mountain views and rustic charm of this historic fruit-picking facility from years gone by, complete with original buildings including our increasingly famous kitchen, and changed only by the addition of modern motels and conveniences.

Kia-Ora ! This is the Home Page of Tapawera Settle, a friendly family run campground situated in Tapawera village with its supermarket, garage, café, restaurant and pub. Our park is adjacent to the Kahurangi national park and right beside the Motueka river for safe swimming, trout fishing, kayaking, river walks and complete relaxation. Abel Tasman and its beautiful tracks and beaches is around 40 minutes north, and the stunning Nelson Lakes is just 40 minutes to the south. Tapawera itself is located 45 minutes south west of Nelson and is around a 5 hour drive from Christchurch, so a perfect stop-over if you are heading north to Golden Bay.   This site is designed to detail the services and accommodation available for those of  you seeking historic Kahurangi gold mining trails including the famous Wangapeka Track, or those in search of some of the best trout fishing in New Zealand, or maybe just those looking to stop, explore and enjoy this beautiful area and warm sunny climate. Combined with warm southern hospitality we offer above average quality at below average prices.
