Perfect location
Lovely homey Bach- very modern which was great and loved the deck and sliders. The photos were a bit misleading as I was looking for the second bedroom with the other queen bed before I realised it was a wall bed in the lounge. Also realised belatedly no wifi which is admittedly stated but I’d misread. Would return for future holidays

Aloha cottage
We had a lovely, comfortable stay in this property. The outlook out the french doors over native planting was great as we saw a lot of native birds along with other birds from our seats in the lounge. The location, for us, was great as we had planned a lot of tripping around the area, which worked well.

Great spot in Beautiful Golden Bay area.
We loved the place. Treated it like our own home. Hardly scratched the surface of its potential but was a great base for day trips around the Golden Bay area. And the stars from the back deck were breath taking.

Very comfortable property with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of deck space to enjoy the private Parapara estuary views. Also well equipped if you take a dog with a kennel and run and gated entrance. All a short walk to the dog friendly beach. Thank you

Aloha Time
This place is a gem - quiet, private, tucked into an off-street location with an outlook onto native bush and birdlife, yet within a short distance of a gorgeous beach and interesting tidal inlet. The house is modern and well-equipped. The master bedroom is spacious, looking to the estuary and native bush, with a second bedroom set up with four bunk beds. There is a fold-down double bed which can be set up in the living room on request. Sliding glass doors to a wide deck make the most of the outlook to native vegetation with estuary glimpses. We will be recommending it to friends.

Lovely property and location, good communication, would love to stay there again in summer :) Had a checkout list of what to do which was straightforward. Would maybe love to have some restaurant recommendations and a map in the compendium for next time. Will stay again as the location is absolutely amazing, estuary outlook on one side, beach a two minute walk away.

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.

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.
