At the end of Hoddy Road, near Mapua, the peninsula presses out into Waimea Inlet so that it feels like you could be on an island, water in front and to either side. The little 1960s apple pickers' cottage stands as close as regulation will allow to the shoreline, a black wooden box with a pale green roof, sheltered by half a dozen mature pines. This scene, too, could be a kind of island, a piece of Tasman's orcharding past that survived even as the area surrounding it became highly desirable real estate, dotted with architecturally designed dwellings.
