Aloha Time is our modern holiday home which is located at the extremely popular Parapara Beach. Aloha's large master bedroom offers an ensuite and tea/coffee making facilities. A great area to get away for a quiet read or relax in your own space if holidaying with family & friends. Lazy Boys to put your feet up while enjoying the view. We have a fully fenced area for your pet with a large kennel if your pet needs some outside time - although, they are most welcome inside. Parapara Beach is totally dog friendly all year round. Great base to explore Golden Bay and enjoy what our part of the world has to offer. Aloha Time beach house is situated at one of the most popular beaches in the area, safe swimming, cockle collecting so much more. Great seasonal fishing from the shore or boat too.
Aloha is a lovely place to unwind especially on the private spacious deck overlooking a magical view. An ideal spot to enjoy a romantic break and enjoy evening strolls down the beach. Aloha is on an acre which offers space to entertain the whole family and park up your boat. There is also an outdoor filleting bench.

The huts offer gas cooking facilities, open fires, bunks with mattresses, large camping grounds, toilets and running-water facilities. The Heaphy Track, one of New Zealand’s “Great Walks” is now a Great Ride. (Check for updates due to previous storm damage)

Beautiful Golden Bay
Very comfortable with beautiful views of native forest and just over the road from the beach. Great to be able to bring our dog. Very close to Collingwood and the Mussel Inn. Milnthorpe is our favourite place.

Great location, perfect for family stay
We loved our time at Parapara. The house is great for families; just a 2 minute walk to the beach, with a great view over the inlet and well kitted out for a stay. Many thanks

Great spot in Beautiful Golden Bay area.
We loved the place. Treated it like our own home. Hardly scratched the surface of its potential but was a great base for day trips around the Golden Bay area. And the stars from the back deck were breath taking.

Quiet seaside weekender
Very comfortable property with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of deck space to enjoy the private Parapara estuary views. Also well equipped if you take a dog with a kennel and run and gated entrance. All a short walk to the dog friendly beach. Thank you

Aloha Time
This place is a gem - quiet, private, tucked into an off-street location with an outlook onto native bush and birdlife, yet within a short distance of a gorgeous beach and interesting tidal inlet. The house is modern and well-equipped. The master bedroom is spacious, looking to the estuary and native bush, with a second bedroom set up with four bunk beds. There is a fold-down double bed which can be set up in the living room on request. Sliding glass doors to a wide deck make the most of the outlook to native vegetation with estuary glimpses. We will be recommending it to friends.

Lovely property and location, good communication, would love to stay there again in summer :) Had a checkout list of what to do which was straightforward. Would maybe love to have some restaurant recommendations and a map in the compendium for next time. Will stay again as the location is absolutely amazing, estuary outlook on one side, beach a two minute walk away.

Parapara Paradise!
An awesome stay in a really well set up property that had everything required for a comfortable break. The property was clean and tidy, on a back section and with a private outlook. The owner was flexible about check in time and readily available to commumicate via email. Parapara is such a lovely Golden Bay location and this property worked really well for us.

Staying at Aloha at Papapara Beach
What an amazing site and a such a beautiful spot. If you are looking for a peaceful spot to get away to, enjoy wide, long, sandy sparsely populated beaches and a very comfortable place to stay then this is the spot for you! The night sky is unbelievable with the Milky Way right overhead and crystal clear. We can thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

Excellent location for our planned tour to Farewell Spit
Unfortunately the wind was huge so everything clattered and banged - even with windows closed - hard to sleep against. Unavoidable in wild weather. Beautiful bush outlook Covers for the duvets would have been more hygienic. Bed comfortable. Couldn't find any instructions for TV in bedroom - on or off sky. Overall worked well for us thankyou.
