Waters Edge Golden Bay
Summary:
Waters Edge Holiday Home - Pet Friendly
Waters Edge is in the ideal spot for family holidays with a safe swimming beach 50m away and a tidal estuary located on this popular peninsula 10kms north of Collingwood and 2.5kms south of Pakawau Beach. Waters Edge has a private setting right on the edge of the estuary - enjoy the calmness of the water while dining on a BBQ cooked meal. Tui's and Bellbirds are all around with the many trees attracting bird life. Kayaking and water play is right at your door. When the tide is in, enjoy a swim or when out, exploring and strolling the beach is recommended.
The Space:
Winter offers many benefits, including a fire and an ever changing outlook.
The setting is wonderful and has been enjoyed by many guests - Great for any family with pets that are most welcome to come along for the fun!
This is a perfect location to enjoy a Golden Bay holiday. This area offers not only a safe swimming beach with cockles to collect but impressive bird life, fishing and walks. Located only minutes from Collingwood where you will find a petrol station, cafe, store and pub.

Takaka township is only 25 minutes away, on the way is The Mussel Inn and Pupu Springs. In town you can enjoy some retail therapy, cafes, and only minutes from other attractions like Anatoki Salmon.
