    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.
