Tokomaru Bay Wharf
Historic wharf in a beautiful location.
Tokomaru Bay Wharf has historical and social significance as a recognisable remnant of a once thriving industry in Waima. The wharf is part of an interwoven group of structures that stand testament to the freezing works and shipping industries. These large-scale industries once provided jobs for hundreds of people in the Tokomaru Bay area.
The Tokomaru Bay Wharf is open to the public unless there are signs on-site that advise otherwise.
