Tikapa Marae sits on a hill within the rural settlement, reached by road from Ruatoria, north of the Waiapu River mouth. Access to the marae and its buildings is arranged with the Te Whānau a Hineauta and Te Whānau a Pōkai hapū who hold it; the Taumata cemetery on the road toward the coast is a separate burial ground.

The hilltop Taumata cemetery on the road toward the coast is said to hold the grave of Manuel José, a Spanish whaler persuaded by Waiapu Valley chiefs to stay in the early 19th century. One chief gave him his five daughters, and their line is said to number over 10,000 descendants today.
