Great location and good size central living areas for larger groups. The downstairs sleeping area is cold and quite damp, if staying in winter I would take an extra electric heater. Lots of leisure gear available for use which is great (kayaks, body boards, cricket gear, fishing gear).

Upstairs is great, downstairs more basic

Upstairs is great, downstairs more basic

The upstairs (with 2 comfortable bedrooms and bathroom) is lovely for 4 people. Well equipped, comfortable, spacious and in a glorious setting. Downstairs (3 bedrooms) is a converted basement with some cold and dampness issues. Would probably be fine in summer. It was great to have the use of kayaks which we enjoyed very much.

Sunny, spacious & well-equiped

We highly recommend this bach for your next holiday in Golden Bay. With five bedrooms and a huge, sunny, open-plan living room there is plenty of space for everyone to relax. While the downstairs bedrooms are a bit 'basementy' and shady, they are perfect to house teenagers, with their own bathroom and a pool table/ dartboard combo to keep everyone amused. We were really impressed with the warm sunny upstairs space and the well-appointed kitchen, loads of board games, kayaks and lifejackets, BBQ etc: this place has the feel of a real family bach and we want to thank the owners for sharing their special place with us. We hope to return for another stay sometime!

We loved our stay in Parapara though we were initially surprised that the downstairs bedrooms were only accessed from outside. Our three little kids coped fine though with this so all good in the end. Loved the snooker and darts and all the board games and the kayaks. Would definitely stay again.

Great location.

Parapara is a great location for exploring Golden Bay. The living and 2 bedrooms upstairs are comfortable and modern. The 3 bedrooms downstairs are very basic. There is also a water pump downstairs which is quite noisy. The rumpus room with pool table and darts was very popular with our kids.

The perfect holiday house

The perfect holiday house

We loved our stay at this beach house; a real summer house with lots of history. The house is perfectly suited for small children as it is fenced on the main deck; we loved using the kayaks, BBQ and other toys. You are just a few metres from the beach and a playground. Kitchen was well equipped, also lots of board games and book. Would love to come back and stay longer.

Wonderful place to rent for families wanting some quality time in a peaceful part of Golden Bay.The upstairs living area is modern and spacious, receiving lots of sun with a well-designed deck with plenty of room both in and out of shade. The downstairs level containing 3 bedrooms and a bathroom and toilet is a bit more basi, but is practical, clean and tidy and contains a pool table and dart board to keep the family entertained.Location is ideal - just a short walk across the road from the beautiful Parapara Beach. Lots of local tuis to provide nice background ambience.One of the biggest appeals of this place is the use of the kayaks. Our family spent lots of time kayaking and fishing in the waters off Parapara Beach, which was a real highlight.The only improvement suggestion would be to have a dryer onsite to help dry the family washing during the rainy days - although the fire & clotheshorse works well when outside temperature isn’t too warm.

Parapara has been a popular destination for our family since the 1980s and now the third generation was introduced to its charms. The safe beach, playground, and relaxed atmosphere are unchanged. The house was ideal for accommodating us all and we had enough space to spread out.
