"We had such a great time at this property. It has everything you need and even more. Very convenient, with a unique character and the sea is at the doorstep that we enjoyed from a sheltered balcony. "

"Our family group ranged from 12 months to 90 years old. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Comfy beds, lovely linen and great heating. Tuis and a bell bird in the garden. "

"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). "

"Amazing locat"

"Looks great online but the reality was quite a disappointment. The cabin was not as well appointed as I had thought given the cost, all a bit cheap and plasticky. The floor was sort of buckled and uneven in places and as such the door was a challenge to close. The container got quite hot as the weather was so good, but there was no air conditioning and no fly screens, so opening the windows meant I had to contend with some big bugs late at night (moths and cicadas).

"This is an exceptionally special spot. The house was clean, contemporary, warm and comfortable with everything we needed… and the views were amazing!

We were blessed with two days of exceptional autumn weather but it would be just as lovely hunkered down in winter or in the heat of summer. Thanks Canada for the...

The views from the master just so relaxing and blissful to listen to the waves at night, and watch the sun rise. Birdlife galore, sweet garden and everything you could need, or a cafe just a five min bike ride away. Not flashy, but luxury in all the good ways! Thank you!"

"We had a lovely, relaxing 3 nights in Parapara beach. The bach is right on the beach with stunning views all the way to Farewell Spit. It was dog friendly and we met lots of nice people on the beach with their dogs!"

"We've just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay at Parapara Heights. The accommodation is absolutely faultless with all the mod cons, good size for the family, clean, dog-friendly and it has stunning views. Mark and Tracey are the perfect hosts (not forgetting Ziggy and Sam the dogs of course!) Always happy to help, but leaving you well alone to relax. The view from the deck is fantastic, with amazing bush before you, Farewell Spirit could be seen in the distance, and the only noises we heard...
