About this Holiday House
There is now only the self-contained studio for rent in this holiday home in a beautiful waterfront environment, a short distance away from the sandy beach, in a wonderful natural setting. It is situated at the top of Golden Bay, North of Collingwood township, at the very base of Farewell Spit.
It can sleep a maximum of 4 persons in the Studio.
The 'STUDIO' has 1 bedroom and a bunk bed in the Lounge. It has its own kitchen- and bathroom facilities, and a separate entrance.
From here, you could explore Farewell Spit, the spectacular Wharariki Beach, nearby hilltop-walks on DOC Farm Park Reserve, more serious tramping in Kahurangi National Park (Heaphy Track) go for a swim or take the kayak to the Lagoon to explore, or a quiet leisurely stroll on the beach and gathering cockles (clams) at low tide. A 5-minute walk will take you to the local Cafe with a stunning view over Farewell Spit.
Or why not relax and chill out on the sheltered veranda of " Puponga Time" looking at the lagoon across the road.
