Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.

This cute, sunny, pet-friendly cottage is in a lovely bush setting in a quiet cul-de-sac close to everything Mangawhai has to offer. Its a 5 minute walk to the shops and golf course and a 10-15 minute walk to the estuary and Mangawhai Activity Zone. The surf beach and markets are just over 5 minutes away by car.

The cottage has 'Retro' styling, easy care floors and is light and airy and is truly a retreat for all seasons. In the summer, fling the doors open to give great indoor/outdoor flow. Set up the outside dining and entertain away or for those wanting a slightly more sedate approach, kick back in the hammock with a good book. In the cooler months, if its cosy you want, crank up the fire, there is wood a plenty for guest use and settle down to a large selection of films or family games.

If its activities you enjoy then feel free to use the bikes and paddleboards (soft roof bars available if you don't have them) and there is a range of safety gear available for both.

Security is important for little ones or pets so we've got that covered too, whilst the overall section is open in keeping with the area, there is a gate that can be added to the front deck to fully enclose the area.

If you are bringing your own toys, there is plenty of storage and parking for your stay.

Would suit a family or a small group of mature couples.

The perfect place to relax and enjoy Magical Mangawhai!

LINEN: Please note that other than pillows, duvets and duvet covers, linen is not included in the tariffs but can be rented for $25 per person, further details are provided in the 'Rooms and beds' section of the listing. If you wish to add linen, please add a note to your booking with what beds you wish to use so they can be made up. We have linen as an optional extra to make a more affordable holiday for those who wish to bring their own.

BOOKING PAYMENT: Although Bookabach/VRBO take your credit card details, all booking payments are made to Bach Stay NZ Limited who manage this property for the owners. 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). Please note the amount stated as 'Deposit Paid at Property' on the Bookabach/VRBO quote is actually a refundable bond that will be collected as part of the accommodation payment, it is not collected at the property as the wording suggests.
