Book a hotel near Milnthorpe Park, Parapara

"We always wanted to check out Tōtara Avenue and finally it happened :) Guando is a fantastic little bach, carefully styled and very well equipped. Comfortable and warm. Unfortunately weather was very average during our stay so we haven’t used kayaks on the inlet"

"We had x4 days of perfect weather staying in this beautiful part of Golden Bay. Our accommodation was excellent and was only a short walk from the idyllic Parapara Beach that is fantastic for walking and swimming, and it was a privilege to see the migrating bird life in large numbers.The estuary reserve area surrounding the bach provided a very peaceful and enjoyable environment to return to after being at the beach. Great base to explore other parts of Golden Bay."

"Lovely place to stay. Excellent sea views. Very relaxing. Well equipped. "

"Clean, good price, well organised. "

"What a magnificent location - just set back from the inlet and at the edge of the trees with great views of the neighbouring hills. The Library is a very welcoming place with a brilliant host. Some really nice touches like the fresh local honey and to help make the cleaning easier, even a vacuum on the mezzanine. Beds are very comfy and kitchen is well stocked with all you need to make a great meal. Would love to come back."

"We had a wonderful stay at this special spot in Golden Bay. The views of the estuary and bay were absolutely stunning, with ever-changing light and beauty throughout the day. The location is perfect—close to Collingwood and Farewell Spit, yet peaceful and secluded. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was one of the best we've experienced.A highlight was listening to Ruru calling at night and watching a lightning storm move across the bay after dark—an unforgettable experience. On clear nights, the stargazing is incredible. This place truly feels like a little slice of paradise. We hope to return!"
