Beachside Gem - Your Cosy Parapara Retreat

Summary:
Discover a charming, newly renovated cottage just steps from the beach. This stylish and compact retreat offers all the essentials for a fantastic holiday. Located next to the public beach access, you'll have sand between your toes in seconds! After a day of beach fun, unwind in the BBQ area and savor breathtaking Parapara sunsets. An absolute gem by the sea!

The Space:
The compact and functional kitchen is equipped with stove tops, a microwave, and a fridge—perfect for preparing simple meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a charming dining area where you can enjoy your culinary creations. The main bedroom offers a tranquil escape with a comfortable queen bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. In the lounge area, a pull-out sofa provides additional sleeping space, making it ideal for relaxing during the day and converting to extra bedding at night.

Parapara is the perfect spot to enjoy the stunning Golden Bay: safe swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and an abundance of fish to be caught! Collect tuatuas and mussels at low tide and explore the many beautiful native bush walks at Milnthorpe Reserve. The iconic Mussel Inn pub is only 5 minutes drive away where you can enjoy great food and live music. Only a short drive to Collingwood if you need to replenish your grocery/alcohol supplies, fuel up or enjoy a cafe meal. Takaka township is 20 minutes drive and has a great selection of artisan shops, fantastic eateries, or you can do gin tasting, visit the local Saturday market or check out the fabulous art galleries.

Guest Access:
You have exclusive use of the roadside yard. Please do not go through the beachfront property "Beachfront Bliss" as this is exclusively for Beachfront Bliss guests only. Your access to the beach is via the public access way next to the property.

Other Things to Note:
Linen fee is included in cleaning fee. Close to water and not fully fenced. Please supervise your children at all time. Please note: Beachside Gem is one house back from the beach (the front house is Beachfront Bliss - also on Airbnb). Please contact Golden Bay Holiday Homes if you are interested in booking both cottages at the same time.

Interaction with Guests:

Nice break away. Could do with an upgrade on the shower head and hotplate. Tv remote did not work for the kids entertainment. Still worth it
