About the area
Collingwood
Located in Collingwood, this holiday home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Kahurangi National Park and Pakawau Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can head to Te Anaroa Caves. Fishing and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and horse riding nearby.

About the host
Hosted by JenniferT6
I am a secondary school teacher and live in Nelson with my partner and son when he is not at Uni.
Why they chose this property
I have always loved Golden Bay and have stayed at Totara Avenue for 25 years. I am a keen tramper and lover of nature. This part of Golden Bay particularly appealed because of the birds, totara trees and ease of access to the sea and the mountains. I also have friends who have a Bach in the avenue and find it a very friendly, social place and a great getaway from Nelson.
What makes this property unique
A perfect stepping stone to beautiful and iconic New Zealand attractions such as Wharariki beach and Farewell Spit.
