Pakawau pet-friendly rentals

Such a lovely place to stay if you are over that side of Golden Bay, very close to lots of incredible walks and beaches. Highly recommend staying here

The place was clean and tidy, well set up for a large group. Sadly my Dad and I arrived late at night so didn’t get to really experience the property much but I could imagine it being a wonderful escape for a big family or group of friends to enjoy. Walking distance to shops, cafes and the local pub/restaurant as well as the Farewell Spit tour company (which is why we were late arriving). Great backyard and access to water for kayaking or swimming. The hosts were quick and thorough in their responses so I felt good about booking with them.

We had a lovely, relaxing 3 nights in Parapara beach. The bach is right on the beach with stunning views all the way to Farewell Spit. It was dog friendly and we met lots of nice people on the beach with their dogs!

My son (who lives in Sweden) and I spent a couple of nights at Parapara heights. The accommodation was lovely, the owners were both friendly and helpful and the view was sensational...it was hard to leave!

This is an exceptionally special spot. The house was clean, contemporary, warm and comfortable with everything we needed… and the views were amazing! The walks around the property were a surprise and extra magical - it’s well worth the steep climb to the lookout! Exploring Farewell Spit and Wharariki area was a breeze from here. We were blessed with two days of exceptional autumn weather but it would be just as lovely hunkered down in winter or in the heat of summer. Thanks Canada for the opportunity to experience your gorgeous property :-)

Awesome stay…. beautiful place with so many neat extras for the kids such as the goats,chickens, ducks and pigs. Great communication from hosts. A real sanctuary with everything that was needed for our group and was loved by all. Thanks so much - we will be back! :)

The property is a good size bach located right by the beach. It had everything we needed and enough space that we didn't feel cramped when it rained all day!

Wonderful stay.Great house and location. Close to everything and quick walk to village. Rainy weekend but great beach walks and lovely enclosed deck for view to sea/sit and relax.Pet friendly and lots to do.
