We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, sunny home. The views are stunning, and being so close to the beach made it even more special. We loved opening all the doors on warm sunny days to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings, and the cosy fire made the evenings especially relaxing.Our host was very helpful, and the comprehensive notes provided made everything easy and stress-free.This is a beautiful place to stay, and we would happily recommend it to family and friends.From two very happy sisters!

We stayed for 3 nights but would have loved to stay for a week! Great communication from Simon, the house is so light and comfortable. Has lovely little touches (some basic food items, board games, washing powder etc) so it feels like a home. Loved having Weka walking aroind the property. Made for a wonderful family holiday.

Perfection

This bach was absolute perfection: clean, comfortable, warm and with every comfort and item you could ever need for your stay. The amazing estuary views add to the whole experience, and with the beach just up the road there's no need to venture very far at all if you're seeking a relaxing getaway. We could have happily stayed for weeks!

Parapara paradise

The house was exactly as described, and it was perfection! Well appointed, stunning scenery, comfortable bed, views from bed were amazing...we wanted for nothing. Simon provided detailed information prior to arrival of suggested activities, eateries, etc. Four nights was not enough, but we covered a lot of territory but were sad to leave!

Christmas Break

Perfect break away for Christmas. Relaxing spot with all amenities we needed. Bach is well appointed for a comfortable stay. Walk to the beach is quick and easy, a great place to park up with a book.Lovely and quiet, enjoyed watching the tide come and go and watching the various birds cruising by. Fantastic slice of paradise. Simon and Mary great hosts easy communication all the way.

A Beauty

We loved the moods of the Estaury. It was handy to the Golden Bay Area. We visited museums, beaches, galleries, Takaha, mussel Inn, other food places. Pupu springs, Devils Boot, Gin tasting, Labyrinth Rocks. We had done all these previously but we were showing English visitors around.

Two Tides is a true treat!

The home is well laid out with stunning views of the Estuary and bird life. The amenities are top-notch, nice beds, great shower, etc. Loved the fully equipped kitchen, the egg poaching pan was a favorite. The furniture is beautiful and the home is artful and interesting. Simon is a Superhost and provides info on anything you may think of. Our best stay in NZ to-date, thank you Simon for sharing your lovely home!

A Dream

It's an incredible bach, and we loved every minute of our stay. The entire process was effortless. The bach is designed for relaxation. It has an excellent selection of books and pantry supplies, stunning views over the estuary, and a short walk to the beach. Simon and Mary are brilliant communicators. We loved everything about this bach and wished we could have stayed longer. Catherine & Dean

Magical place

Thanks Simon and Mary for a fabulous stay in your beautiful house on the Parapara Estuary. The position is to die for and the house is perfectly designed to make the most of the ebb and flow of the tides. We loved having access to kayaks and everything we needed was in the house. We'll be back!

Comfortable, perfect view, excellent communication

The host was very kind to accommodate our party of five, and was quick and friendly in communication. The loft served as the extra room. The view is fantastic and the style of the home makes you want to spend your entire stay enjoying the atmosphere. It was filled with local art and pottery. It has everything you need for a great stay.

Perfect Bach with even better outlook

Lovely architectural design, sighted for the sun, privacy and beautiful views of the tidal wetlands. Bird life abounds. Fully loaded in terms of kitchen/house equipment. And Nz’s hippiest area with numerous short walks and swimming adventures. Bring books, the Tv is tiny with poor sound!
