Collingwood House | Gunado - a cosy kiwi bach.

2 Bedroom House in Collingwood, Pakawau Beach

The bach is nestled among mature totara trees and is home to many native birds. It has a lovely open garden and an extensive view across the estuary which will fill up during spring high tides. It is only a 30 second walk across the other side of the road to a very safe swimming beach.
There are two kayaks to use and the garden and estuary are interesting safe places for children to play while parents sit and relax on the deck.
The living area is open and cosy with an efficient wood burner to keep the house warm in the winter months. There are two good sized bedrooms that look across the estuary and are both light and well insulated; the larger bedroom has double glazing. A new bathroom has been recently added to the bach and the living room extended.
It is a great place to escape and relax and offers long beach walks where you can observe the many wading birds, collect shellfish or just beach fossick. There are many beautiful natural locations nearby to visit by car including Wharariki beach which is only a 20 minute drive. Whatever you choose to do you will come home feeling better for taking the time to stay here.

Summary: A comfortable well equipped cabin, accurately described in the bookabach listing. The rack rate of 170/180 per night is reasonable but the charges added by bookabach and the owner are rapacious. To add to the rapaciousness , the owners demand an additional 25 if you have the audacity to use the second bed in the cabin (it is advertised with two bedrooms). Twenty minutes drive to the nearest cafe, bar, restaurant. In summary, pleasant small cabin, miles from any hospitality venues and seriously overpriced.

Summary: 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

Summary: Beautiful, quiet spot in Golden Bay. Photos don't do this place justice. Really cute and comfortable cottage. Hours of fun to be had exploring the estuary on the doorstep and only a minute walk to the beach. Easy access to Farewell spit, Wharariki beach, Collingwood and Takaka. Loved our stay.
