We had a wonderful time at Parapara Beach- the Bach was perfect for us including our dog. We loved being able to walk to the beach - such a gorgeous beach. The area is so quiet and peaceful. House was very comfortable, clean, with everything we needed. Comfortable bed and the deck overlooking the lagoon was full of birds to watch and the view was always changing with the different times of day. Highly recommend.
We were looking for somewhere private and peaceful in an excellent location and that is exactly what we found. The house itself is lovely and of a high standard, everything you need is there. All in all our Parapara trip was wonderful.
Great spot - private, comfortable and stone's throw to the beach. Our accommodation provided everything we needed and allowed us to truly relax. We love the private deck with gorgeous garden setting. We appreciate that it is dog friendly and fenced in. We'll definitely be back again. Thank you Shona and Russ for a wonderful stay in Parapara paradise!

Our fav place to stay in Parapara. The home is super cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Love that we can take our wee dog. Beds awesome and great water pressure. Shona is really communicative. Can’t recommend highly enough and can’t wait to come back.
Russ & I have lived at Parapara Beach for over 20 years and have appreciated this extremely special place. It offers so much for us as locals along with our guests looking for a unique break away from a busy world. Spending time with our dog Molly on the beach & surfcasting right outside our door are daily pleasures for us.
