About this property

Sunrise at Parapara Beach

Summary:
Ocean Front Beach House.

Sunrise is in an extremely popular area for safe swimming, fishing, kayaking, cockle collecting and hiking.

Enjoy the open plan spacious living area which flows onto the deck. The conservatory is perfect even on days that aren't sunny, the views are great - or snuggle inside by the fire. The heat pump is very efficient for the winter months.

The Space:
There is plenty of room to park up your boat and toys, water is supplied by a private scheme for outside use.

The estuary is popular for windsurfing and kayaking. Boards and small boats can be used from a boating trust just down the road.

Only minutes away from the famous Mussel Inn, a short drive to Collingwood offers cafes, grocery store, pub, Rosy Glow chocolates.

This area has a number of potters and artists studios, Farewell Spit tours, Wharariki Beach and the Heaphy Track.

Wharaiki Beach - This is by far one of the coolest beaches in New Zealand ! Huge rock formations, huge sand hills, huge caves, cliffs, dunes , white sand and baby seals . The trail is amazing through farms and beautiful hills . You can even meet peacocks in the car park!

Farewell Spit - Farewell Spit is New Zealand’s longest sand spit (25 km) and a nature reserve. It is an internationally-renowned bird sanctuary with over 90 bird species recorded in the area.

Heaphy Track - One of New Zealand’s nine great walks. Many people choose to walk only to the first or second huts on the track instead of walking its entire length which have toilets and running-water facilities. The Heaphy Track, one of New Zealand’s “Great Walks” is now a Great Ride. Mountain Bikers are now permitted by the Department of Conservation to ride the Heaphy Track between May 1 and September 30.

Takaka township is only a 15-20 minutes drive where you will find lots of shops for retail therapy, cafes, grocery store and markets on Saturdays.

Older style bach with plenty of room across road from lovely beach. Went to Collingwood and bought some DVDs as no other suitable options available on the rainy evenings. Otherwise fine.

Cold house on great Beach
Parapara Beach is awesome in winter and no doubt amazing in Summer. The house is rather worn and neither washing machine nor oven worked properly. There is a heat pump but it struggles to maintain a comfortable temp on a cold night. Better options in area for next time.

Nothing Special
When we booked this basic property we did all that was required of us, with a huge upfront cost that oddly I am not permitted to specify under this review, plus a substantial bond which we were not informed about until after we indicated a wish to book the property. Shortly after our arrival ( 17:30 hours), we found there was no hand soap left, and only a few drops of dish washing detergent, after I decided to wash all the glasses, plates and cutlery when we discovered food remnants, and grease on plates and utensils- there is no dishwasher. There were only 3 rolls of toilet paper which is barely adequate for a family of 5. The accommodation is a 15 minute drive from Takaka, so we were reluctant to get back into the car and drive to the supermarket to purchase these items. I called Shona Rentals, (1800 hours) but there was no answer, so I left a message. After one hour having received no response I sent a text message, (1918 hours) but when there was no response we decided we would need to purchase the items from Takaka. At about 1949 hours, I received a call from Rus- on behalf of Shona saying she had staff off sick to explain the situation. Problem was his manner was unhelpful. He kept reminding me that he was busy dealing with his other business, (which we now know to be the Pohara Dairy) and that he would need to drop the items off after 2130 hours. It was patronising and in your face stuff, verging on rudeness- he was so obviously not sorry. He kept talking to other people during our conversation, cutting me off as I spoke, saying he had a line of 10 people deep. I questioned why he had bothered to call in the first place if he could not premise the call in a genuine fashion. But he just did not get it. Significantly, the accommodation has an ant problem. There were ants on the bathroom vanity and on the morning of our departure they were crawling all over the benches, and on our food. It is totally unacceptable to be renting out accommodation when there is clearly an issue with ants- it was obvious that this was known to the owners because in the bathroom there were numerous ant carcasses that suggested some earlier intervention. Despite the reasons for booking this bach, which was to celebrate a family birthday, the memory of our stay will be completely marred by events that were entirely avoidable. We have a place in the Marlborough Sounds but thought a weekend at Golden Bay might on this occasion be a fun thing to do.

Ocean Front Beach house was great place to stay and explore Parapara. Excellent location.
A great kiwi Bach that had everything you needed, with the beach right on your doorstep. If you are looking for somewhere close to the beach and kick back with friends and family then this is the place.
