Ask a questionAbout simonc
Welcome, in advance, to Two Tides at Parapara inlet. We hope it provides a relaxing, restful haven during your stay. We have been coming to the area for more than 25 years. We love its rugged beauty, its isolation, the wildlife, the creativity of its artists, the friendly people and the relaxed nature and pace of life it affords. We conceived Two Tides to reflect some of the essence of Golden Bay, and unable to be here permanently at present, we are very happy to share this special place with appreciative and like-minded guests. We hope you find it a peaceful base from which to explore and experience the area; or simply in which to put your feet up, read a good book and enjoy the view.

Why simonc chose Parapara
Located in Parapara Beach Road, it is a few minutes drive from the famous Mussel Inn at Onekaka and, equally, a short distance by car from the Courthouse Cafe, shops, the pub and Rosy Glow chocolates in Collingwood. It is an ideal situation from which to explore the many attractions Golden Bay has to offer: from Farewell Spit and Wharariki Beach to Pupu Springs and Wainui Falls. Or to rest up after one of the many tramps the area offers including, of course, the Heaphy Track. It boasts a number of artists’ and potters’ studios in the near vicinity including Tim Jessup, Anatoth, Rinopai, Estuary Arts, Margaret Maloney and Paul Winspear, among others. Windsurfing and kayaking is popular on the estuary and boards and boats can be hired from a neighbouring local boating trust. Golden Bay is celebrated for its beaches – Parapara beach is a mere 200-metre stroll – for its isolation and wild beauty, its wildlife and birds, its original and vibrant arts scene, its off-beat but compelling eateries, and the friendliness of its people. Two Tides is ideally placed for an introduction to all of these. But it is also the perfect, peaceful bach in which to curl up with a good book and admire the view.
What makes this House unique
Uninterrupted, peaceful view of the estuary and to hills/mountains beyond; very private; 200 metre stroll to beach. Two Tides provides the relaxing benefits of a beach/Golden Bay stay, but with lodge-like style and comfort at holiday home prices.
