ParaPara Valley Holiday Home

The two-story, three-bedroom cottage sits on a 10-acre ( 4 hectares) block bordering the Kahurangi Park on the back boundary - no close neighbours. The house itself has two bedrooms upstairs and a third downstairs with open plan kitchen, dining and living. Bathroom with over-bath shower and separate laundry and toilet. Plenty of room for off-street parking and tons of space to pitch a tent or park a caravan/camper or two. No street lights - the night sky is amazing. The birdlife is outstanding - including the NZ falcon, kereru, tui, shining cuckoo, bellbird, morepork, kingfisher, weka and quail. Attractions abound with bush walks and mountain bike tracks originating from the property into the Kahurangi National Park; The fabulous river swimming hole is a sweet seven-minute walk up the road and there's a short three-minute drive down the road to the sweeping Parapara Beach for swimming and fishing. Take a seven-minute drive to the very famous Mussel Inn for music and beer and great food. A store, petrol, and cafes are just eight minutes north in the picturesque village of Collingwood. And then, of course, there is the whole of Golden Bay to explore from the beautiful Abel Tasman Track to Farewell Spit, Wharariki Beach and the Heaphy Track.
