About this property

Absolute Beachfront Onemana Pararaiha

A Unique Family Home placed, on what we believe is, the most beautiful beach in New Zealand! Onemana Pararaiha was the First Original Farm House of Onemana and therefore holds the most prestigious position on the beach. It is extremely spacious, set on 3/4 acre of prime beachfront and could easily accommodate 3 families. We made the top 10 holiday homes for Book a Bach holiday home of the year 2022.
The name in Maori says it all: One - Beach, Mana - prestige, a supernatural force in a person, place or object. Pararaiha- Paradise
Welcome to paradise!

Beautiful Stay
We stayed at this beautiful property for three nights and it was absolute paradise! The entire process from booking enquires with Renee through to the management of the property by Rachel. It was so easy and the house was an absolute dream, so wonderful for a large family such as ours (8 adults, 7 kids). This house was lovely and clean, beautifully presented, had everything and all the space we needed. We could all relax with the beach just a stones throw away! We would highly recommend this property to everyone and we will definitely come back again! Thank you Renee and family for sharing your house with us!

We had a wonderful time staying at this lovely property. The amenities were up to the highest standards and being situated right at the beach was fantastic. We enjoyed stunning sunrises and spent each evening cozying up to the wood fire.

Amazing beach house to enjoy with family
My family had an amazing time at this beautiful beach house. It has a lovely layout, plenty of room, amazing views and was so close to the beautiful beach. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of different areas for the family to spread out (8 adults, 6 kids). The owner and the house manager were very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend for a large group and would definitely like to return again one day.

A week to remember
We arrived with ideas that we would explore the wider area , hire bikes etc. There were 12 of us..... a family of 6, 3 partners and 3 granddaughters. Our 3 vehicles left only to buy more supplies...... we went to the beach , swam, read , relaxed and played games for 6 days!!! There was just no reason to leave such a magic spot.!! Waking to the sun coming through the surf, eating on the decks, playing games on the front lawn, a holiday week to remember! Thank you Renee for sharing your beach house , it is a special place!!

Every year we take the Total Sport team to a stunning natural location, and the place we stayed at this year was the best ever! The location is unbelievable, and the property incredible - everything we needed was easy to find, and of a great standard. The communication from the owner and property manager were exceptional.

as a large family it is always hard to find such beautiful spots to all stay together - it was an amazing location and suited everyone in our extended family, from teens to kids to grandparents and parents. There were 15 of us and we had space for everyone - so comfortable and everything we needed. Thank you for allowing us to share in paradise - we would love to stay again.

Magic multi-family getaway
Fantastic large family home, unbeatable location, owner was responsive and helpful as was the on site manager. We had 3 families with 7 adults and 6 kids ages 1 - 5 years and there was lots of space for everyone. The home is set up for everything for multi family groups, two cribs were available, two fridge freezers, lots of towels and beach towels, right down to a beach cricket set and rackets for the nearby tennis courts. Stunning views, sunrises and sunsets. We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Harris

Host profile image
I grew up on the Coromandel Peninsula and love returning every year to what I believe is Pure Paradise. I currently live in the UK near London with my husband and 4 beautiful children.

Why they chose this property

I believe you would find it hard to discover another home like Onemana Pararaiha. The beachfront position and the space of the property makes it hard to beat. I do not know another house in the area like it.

What makes this property unique

The space of the property and the size of the plot on the beachfront makes this house special and unique. Surrounded by beautiful native forest and stunning pohutakawa trees ( New Zealand Christmas tree). You can walk through the forest tracks with view of the ocean to empty beaches and bays.We have a large family and lots of friends and this is the perfect home for entertaining and spending time with loved ones.
