We're just 2 minutes drive to the iconic Mussel Inn, so if you're heading over for a gig it's the perfect overnight stay! Our property is set in the bush and there is access to the QE11 Covenant for a private bush walk. 10 minutes drive to either Collingwood or Takaka township.

Nestled between Onekaka and Collingwood, our place is the perfect base to explore the best of Golden Bay. From wild beaches to crystal-clear springs, art galleries to wildlife encounters, there’s something for everyone just a short drive away. In Collingwood, discover a charming historic village with cafes, galleries, and a small museum. Wander along the estuary at sunset, or head out on scenic walks like the Aorere Goldfields track or Washbourn Reserve. Collingwood Beach, Pakawau, and Parapara all offer tranquil spots to swim, stroll, or simply relax. A little further north, Farewell Spit is one of New Zealand’s most unique landscapes—an ever-shifting sand spit and internationally protected bird sanctuary. Tours here often include seal and gannet sightings. Nearby, Wharariki Beach is famous for its dramatic arch rocks, windswept dunes, and playful seal pups. Closer to Onekaka, adventure awaits with horse treks, coastal golf, and the iconic Mussel Inn—a Golden Bay institution for live music, hearty meals, and home-brewed drinks. The nearby Takaka township offers vibrant Saturday markets, artisan shops, and the award-winning Dancing Sands Distillery. Nature lovers will enjoy Te Waikoropupu (Pupu) Springs, home to some of the clearest freshwater in the world, and the magical Labyrinth Rocks or Grove Scenic Reserve with their limestone formations and lush bush. Wainui Falls, just an hour’s return walk through native forest, makes another memorable day trip. From kayaking in Abel Tasman to scenic flights over the coastline, Golden Bay offers endless opportunities for adventure—or simply a chance to slow down and soak in its beauty. With beaches, walks, wildlife, and local flavour at your doorstep, this is a stay you won’t forget.
