Great Summer Location
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
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!

Fantastic time
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
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.
