Best Location With Changing Estuary Views at Popular Parapara Beach
Please Note: Full and updated cleaning systems are in place for everyone's future well-being. Sanitiser and hospital grade disinfectant products are supplied for guests use which are also used by our cleaning team.
Aloha Time is our modern holiday home which is located at the extremely popular Parapara Beach. Aloha's large master bedroom offers an ensuite and tea/coffee making facilities. 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. Semi fenced & estuary edged. 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!
The Mussel Inn - only a 3 minute drive to Golden Bays world famous restaurant/bar - on-site produced beer plus more. Check their website for their well known entertainment nights & live bands.
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!
Farewell Spit - Farewell Spit is New Zealand’s longest sand spit (25 km) and a nature reserve. It is an internationally-renowned bird sanctuary with over 90 bird species recorded in the area.
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)
Special conditions: We offer a port-a-cot & highchair as well if you are traveling with an infant.
Aloha is dog friendly & pets are more than welcome inside with a few guidelines.
The Queen wall bed is extremely comfortable with a luxury mattress which folds down with ease.
We also offer our Nelson Townhouse City Haven if you're looking to spend time there. Vrbo #20012005. Great location to checkout the area and base your stay from. Pets are also welcome with a fully fenced section. WIFI & spa pool are offered at City Haven.
Please note, WIFI is not available at Aloha Time.
Extras: Pets Welcome. Cleaning (Optional, NZ$250 per stay); Linen (included);
