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.

Para Para escape

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aloha. As the occupiers are required to clean after their stay I would like to give thanks to those before us for the great job they did and hope that those after us are as happy with our efforts. It is a lovely warm, peaceful, private location that is handy to all walks and adventure, village and town facilities.
