Our four nights at Paripuma were the highlight of our two weeks in New Zealand. Nothing can match the warm hospitality we received. And the pictures do not begin to match the beauty of this place. Since 1999, this charming couple has taken a raw seaside and turned it into a captivating, beautiful retreat. We loved to wander through the beautiful gardens and onto the beach. The rooms were so well appointed and comfortable. When we arrived on a cold winter evening, we were greeted by a warm fire and fresh flowers by our beds. Don't let the location concern you. It's a joy to be outside of the city so you can hear the waves crashing, but still close enough to explore things nearby. It's easy to reach nearby wineries or hiking. There was way more to do than we had time for - and we all wish we could have stayed longer. Don't hesitate to book - this spot is my favorite Airbnb ever - you won't be disappointed!
