About this property
Moir Point Magic - 3 bedroom cottage in secluded bush setting with stunning estuary ocean views
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period. Set at the end of a long drive amongst mature bush is this secluded slice of Magical Mangawhai paradise. The cottage has been lovingly refurbished to capture the essence of beach holidays and the 180 degree estuary and ocean views are quite simply stunning. Upstairs features two bedrooms, one with a King and another with a Queen. There is also a third bedroom located downstairs which features a Queen. With decks on both sides of the house and large bi-folds there is great indoor/outdoor flow and plenty of options whatever the weather. There is also direct access to the estuary down a formed bush track with 150 steps to ensure you get your daily dose of exercise. With two double kayaks available on request (don't worry they are stored at the bottom of the track!), explore the estuary and the huge sand dune a couple of hours either side of the high tide. Or alternatively laze on the deck with a good book and/or a cold drink. Watch the colours change on the estuary and dunes as the tides ebb and flow and the sun rises and sets over this picture postcard view. For entertainment this property also now has a 55 inch SMART TV and soundbar. The property is also in a great location for everything Mangawhai Heads has to offer, within walking distance to the golf course, Mangawhai Activity Zone, shops and cafes and only a short drive to the surf beach. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms it is suitable for a small family and friends/grandparents or a couple of mature couples. This is truly a great place to relax and unwind even when Mangawhai is at its busiest. Please note that the bunk set shown in the photos of the Downstairs bedroom is no longer present. LINEN OPTIONS: To keep your holiday more affordable, for this property we offer linen as an optional extra for guests who prefer to bring their own. If you choose to bring your own linen, you will need to supply top and bottom sheets, pillowcases, towels and bath mats. Pillows, Duvets and Duvet covers will be provided. Alternatively, a rental linen package is available for $25 per person. To request this service, please add a note to your booking specifying the number of people requiring linen and which beds you would like prepared. BOOKING PAYMENT: Although your credit card details are taken during the booking process, we won't automatically charge your credit card. Once your booking is approved we will send you a payment email with a choice of credit card payment (a 3% surcharge applies) or bank transfer (no charges).

This is a special gem of a place. Views are fantastic, house is spacious but cosy, handy to all amenities and so private. Couldn't ask for more in a holiday house. We'll be back!
Really lovely house with most amazing view. Better than the photos on line. Well equipped holiday home. Plenty of space for a small family. Nice and quiet down the end of a long drive nestled in bush. Walk up and down steps to the estuary below is a great work out. Highly recommend this house.
This Bach was absolutely the best home during our 10 day visit to New Zealand. We walked in and were overwhelmed by the stunning views of the estuary and the ocean. We could could not have found a better place to unwind and relax, especially watching the sunrise every morning. The location was ideal. The Bach felt very private yet a short drive to restaurants and shops. Overall it it felt like a treasured home and we were lucky enough to be allowed to spend a few nights. Also a shout out to the host. He was attentive and quickly solved any issue with a warm friendly manner.

So glad you enjoyed this little oasis and it helped to make your NZ stay a very enjoyable one.
Photos do not do justice to the views or the house! The views are spectacular, the house is in such a quiet spot that you hear nothing but the birds singing - while being minutes away from an excellent playground and Supermarket. The house has everything, is very clean and tidy, and is much more stylish/tasteful on the inside than the photos show. The short walk to the water and the use of the kayaks is a fantastic bonus. We can not wait for an opportunity to stay here again.
A tidy beach house in a great location with deck looking out over the estuary. Could have sat there all day enjoying the tidal changes in the estuary. Very peaceful.
Exactly as described, quiet, well equipped Bach. Beautifully positioned to catch the best aspects of the site, weather and views. Would love to stay again. Thank you.
This bach was just what these worn out Aucklanders needed for 3 nights! The view is so stunning, we felt instantly relaxed. The bach is perfectly sized and had everything we could need. We would love to stay again.
We loved the property, the view is absolutely breathtaking and the house is really comfortable. Easy access down the pathway to the estuary. Very clean and great layout.
We really enjoyed our stay ~ and would love to go back! The house has a lovely holiday beach vibe and a good set up. The views are absolutely amazing. The deck is fenced which meant we could enjoy the views while our little one wondered about safely. Such a lovely beautiful piece of paradise. We’re so glad we stayed.
