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.
Parapara Beach is located a short drive to cafes, general store, tavern, galleries plus more....... Have it all!
Only 15 minutes to Takaka.
A short drive away is:
Milnthorpe Park - 2 minute drive away - dog friendly & an amazing spot. Acres of tracks to explore leading onto a huge very private beach. Very popoular!

Wharaiki Beach - This is by far one of the coolest beaches in New Zealand ! Huge rock formations, huge sand hills, huge caves, cliffs, dunes , white sand and baby seals . The trail is amazing through farms and beautiful hills . You can even meet peacocks in the car park!

Heaphy Track - One of New Zealand’s nine great walks. Many people choose to walk only to the first or second huts on the track instead of walking its entire length. 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)

Great spot for a family holiday
Great Bach and excellent location. Loved the outlook onto the estuary. We had 5 adults, a toddler and a baby with us, it was a bit tight for a larger group but overall really good and worked out fine as we were all family. Parapara beach was great for young kids.

Great place
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.

Great hosts and great accommodation.
Not too far from Tākaka, central to most activities, we had a pet dog that stays home with no problems while we work but he didn’t like staying behind when we left him in the pet run as Russ our host suggested it was likely because it was an unfamiliar place.. Russ took him home and put him in a run with his dog where he settled and also offered to take him on future days which was very good of him, we decided to take him on the boat going forward, a new experience for all. I would stay here again and recommend this home without hesitation.
