About this property

Absolute Beachfront Onemana Pararaiha

  • A Unique Family Home placed, on what we believe is, the most beautiful beach in New Zealand! Onemana Pararaiha was the First Original Farm House of Onemana and therefore holds the most prestigious position on the beach. It is extremely spacious, set on 3/4 acre of prime beachfront and could easily accommodate 3 families. We made the top 10 holiday homes for Book a Bach holiday home of the year 2022.
    The name in Maori says it all: One - Beach, Mana - prestige, a supernatural force in a person, place or object. Pararaiha- Paradise
    Welcome to paradise!

Thumbs up

Our extended family appreciated the space in the house, garden and having the beach just over the fence. The weather turned out to be brilliant and we were able to make good use of the outside decking areas.

Beautiful Stay

We stayed at this beautiful property for three nights and it was absolute paradise! The entire process from booking enquires with Renee through to the management of the property by Rachel. It was so easy and the house was an absolute dream, so wonderful for a large family such as ours (8 adults, 7 kids). This house was lovely and clean, beautifully presented, had everything and all the space we needed. We could all relax with the beach just a stones throw away! We would highly recommend this property to everyone and we will definitely come back again! Thank you Renee and family for sharing your house with us!

A weekend to remember

We had a wonderful time staying at this lovely property. The amenities were up to the highest standards and being situated right at the beach was fantastic. We enjoyed stunning sunrises and spent each evening cozying up to the wood fire.

Amazing beach house to enjoy with family

My family had an amazing time at this beautiful beach house. It has a lovely layout, plenty of room, amazing views and was so close to the beautiful beach. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of different areas for the family to spread out (8 adults, 6 kids). The owner and the house manager were very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend for a large group and would definitely like to return again one day.

Our 3 vehicles left only to buy more supplies...... we went to the beach , swam, read , relaxed and played games for 6 days!!! There was just no reason to leave such a magic spot.!! Waking to the sun coming through the surf, eating on the decks, playing games on the front lawn, a holiday week to remember! Thank you Renee for sharing your beach house , it is a special place!!

Magic multi-family getaway

Fantastic large family home, unbeatable location, owner was responsive and helpful as was the on site manager. We had 3 families with 7 adults and 6 kids ages 1 - 5 years and there was lots of space for everyone. The home is set up for everything for multi family groups, two cribs were available, two fridge freezers, lots of towels and beach towels, right down to a beach cricket set and rackets for the nearby tennis courts. Stunning views, sunrises and sunsets. We highly recommend this property.
