About this property

Classic Kiwi Bach- 200 Steps to the Estuary, 5 min walk to the Tavern & Village.

A holiday home made for connection
Step inside and you’ll find a space that’s calm, comfortable and easy. Two bedrooms with flexible bedding (super-king or twin singles), a newly renovated bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen make everyday living relaxed and uncomplicated.

The heart of this classic Mangawhai bach is the large sun-soaked deck - perfect for BBQ dinners, morning coffees, reading in the afternoon sun or long evenings together. There’s also a private garden and a games room with pool and darts, ideal for families, friends and anyone wanting that simple Kiwi bach magic.

This is a place for gathering, laughing, playing and unwinding - real-life memories, not the kind you scroll past.

Fully renovated, 200 steps from the estuary and easy walk to the village
2 Bedrooms with king-sized beds (can be split into singles)

The bach has been refreshed with care to maintain its charm while adding comfort where it matters. We’ve deliberately kept the space open, airy and uncluttered - giving you the feel of a classic Mangawhai bach, but with all the ease of modern living.

It’s relaxed, warm and full of small thoughtful touches that make your stay feel effortless - exactly what good Mangawhai accommodation should be.

We had a great stay at the Bach. It’s located just a few hundred steps from the estuary, which was popular with both locals and visitors for swimming. The property is also close to the town centre, where there are a couple of lovely cafés — perfect for an early morning coffee walk.The accommodation itself was well furnished and very comfortable, with quality bed linen and towels provided. The kitchen was well equipped and included a pod coffee machine, making it easy to prepare meals. We used the BBQ on our first night, which was perfectly adequate, and the covered deck was ideal for outdoor dining.The owners also provided lawn games, which we made great use of and really enjoyed.One small suggestion would be to add steps on either side of the deck, not just at the front, as the current layout could be a potential safety hazard for small children.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.⸻
