Parapara Paradise, river across road, beach 5mins by car. Native bush

Parapara, Tasman Region, New Zealand

Nestled in 1.16 hectares of surrounding native bush, Paradise in Parapara is located directly across the road from Parapara river- the cleanest river in Golden Bay, spring fed with no farm run off, clear and ideal for swimming. The house is also only a 5 minute drive from Parapara beach, so you can have the best of both worlds.br Surrounded by lush trees and an impressive hillside with rock faces that impart a profound sense of peace and guardianship, the house has a rustic charm-all timber with beautiful rimu flooring throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped and is open to the living area, complete with views in every direction, out to the lawns, native bush and nearby Kahurangi National Park. A covered deck extends through French doors from the dining and living area creating the perfect place to BBQ in all weather or just relax and unwind listening to the many native birds; More pork, Shining Cuckoo, Kereru and Tui to name a few.br A special feature on this property is the Gold Miner's Hut which is original and left untouched from the Gold mining era of the early 19th century and contains many old artefacts.brThe main house has 2 bedrooms and a very quaint Ruru cottage has the 3rd- with a fridge for keeping your wine cold or an early morning coffee, without disturbing anyone in the main house. It is situated approximately 30 metres from the main house.brThere are also two carports to keep your car protected from the sun.brThe property itself has several tracks through the native surrounds and views of the river from a lookout point that has a large flat rock to sit on. From this vantage point you can observe the feeling of the valley- the abundant bird song, the whispering wind, and the flow of the river.brbrSpecial Conditions:brNo cleaning fee, however you must leave the house exactly as you found it. Kiwi's have a well respected tradition to clean properties before they leave them.brLinen and towels are not provided, duvets, blankets and pillows are provided.brSmoking outside only.brStrictly no fires outside.brbrNearby attractions are;br-Golden Bay's National Parks.
