About the host
Hosted by mangawhai-clifftop
We are locals. We have lived most of our life in the surrounding area. Our home has been in the family for 26+years and before that the family lived in Mangawhai 40+years. We have put our home on Vrbo -Bookabach as we want other families to also enjoy our beautiful home and its surroundings as we have with our extended family.
Why they chose this property
This property was purchased by our parents who were getting elderly and needed to be on one level and also whose daughter had Motor Neurone Disease. She needed to be close by for support and at that stage the home was in two independant flats. We purchased the home off one of our parents, as the others had past away, and they wished to move into a retirement village. This home was perfect for them being elderly and disabled, and as the views of ocean & beach from our home are amazing and continually changing. Always something to enjoy.
We have altered the home to now have 7 bedrooms as we have a large family (23+?)with grandchildren etc, and we love to all get together and hang-out. We are able to have our own spaces when needed and love the facilities that Mangawhai itself offers.

What makes this property unique
Outdoor living with custom-built furniture, outdoor sounds, pizza oven, BBQ, brazier, fish smokers, trampoline, sandpit. It has a completely fenced-in area for keeping the children and pets safe. It is only a few minutes walk to the water & MAZ -Mangawhai Activity Zone, and there is room to park a boat for fishing, diving, wakeboarding, sea biscuiting etc .
The home has space for everyone with extra bathrooms, kitchens & lounges. For the disabled, we have a large shower room (toilet included ) with a small lip into the shower with sliding door, but we do have a few small steps to enter the house. The house is all one level once inside the home. We have ultra-high-speed, unlimited use fibre internet available. Hoping for Starlink soon. Freeview, multiple TV's, surround sound etc.
