We stayed here in Parapara for almost one month and had a fantastic time throughout. The place has a beautiful vintage/retro touch to it which we heavily enjoyed. It has everything you need and more. The beds are comfortable, the open kitchen and dining room space is gorgeous and the living room with the fireplace and a beach view couldn't be better. Golden Bay is peaceful and quiet. Perfect for children (we traveled with a 2 year old). It has so much to offer and to explore. Where else can you swim in the ocean and climb a mountain in one day? Takaka is not far which has some pretty delicious restaurants. Collingwood is even closer which has some nice cafés, too. Definitely going to return! Thanks so much Sheree & Shannon!
