When approaching Arapiki from the South (Murchison):
When you come to Richmond you will arrive at the first set of traffic lights for hundreds of kilometres - go straight ahead onto the Richmond Deviation and Whakatu Drive but after approximately a kilometre follow the exit signs to 'Stoke'- you will use 2 traffic circles close together to do so. Continue along Main Road Stoke for over 2 kilometres until you come to 2 sets of traffic lights close together. Arapiki Road turns off to the right approximately 1 kilometre past these traffic lights.


When approaching Arapiki from the North (Blenheim):
You will come towards Nelson along Queen Elizabeth Drive. Do Not turn left at the traffic circle which would take you into Nelson City but continue straight ahead. You are to follow signs for places to the south of Nelson (Murchison etc) or to the west (Takaka etc). This means that you will turn right at the next traffic circle to travel along Haven Road and then Rocks Road where you will be along the waterfront. Go through the 2 traffic circles near the KFC and then along Tahunanui Drive. Go through the next major traffic circle by taking the 'Stoke' exit. Shortly you will pass some shops on the right and then before long you will come to an intersection. Turn right at this intersection and Arapiki Road is the very first road on the left.
