About this property
Spa and a 5 minute walk to the water
Beautifully renovated, centrally located family bach only five minutes walk from the estuary beach. New outdoor furniture that’s not yet photographed! Multiple cabins plus a renovated caravan on the property for large groups or families to have some privacy.
The north facing living area in the main house features a well equipped kitchen with a massive awning window the width of the kitchen that opens up to the outdoor area - great for serving food and drinks from. At the other end of the living area, there's a day bed with a matching awning window that opens out to a bar leaner. There are two bedrooms in this house (one a queen and the other a bunk with a double on the bottom), the kitchen, dining and living, a bathroom, and the laundry - further rooms are in the other cabins on the property, more info below.
The living area flows out to a spacious deck with wide bi-folding doors for seamless indoor-outdoor flow - step off the deck into the spa! The deck has electronic louvres to choose the amount of sun you'd like and to protect from any rain, as well as having inbuilt lights and outdoor heaters. There's a a hanging cane cocoon chair, large outdoor table, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ.
Step off the deck onto a massive flat lawn, perfect for lawn games and parking for cars and boats alike.
Further along the property is the standalone 'boat shed', with a queen bed and an ensuite. Along from that is the cabin, which houses two bedrooms (one a queen, the other a bedroom with softer style mattresses with a single bed and a bunk bed), a kitchenette, and a shower and toilet. There are large louvres outside which haven’t been photographed yet.
At the furtherest end of the property is a fully renovated caravan with a queen bed - the top pops up so there’s room to stand. Photos show it with the top down.
It’s about 600 metres to the swimmable estuary, and a five minute drive to the surf beach as well as many other estuary beaches. Central to the shops, cafes, the golf course and the boat ramp.

Host was very welcoming, and all the amenities were in very good condition. The property is in very good location, close to beach, restaurants and shops.
Sophie was an amazing host, the house was well set up and has a great lounge/outdoor living area, was perfect for our two family’s to relax. Easy walk to the estery. Would love to stay again
Wonderful accommodation for a large group of friends with a gorgeous outdoor area and large living room. Great location, main house very clean and modern. Would stay here again!
Fabulous weekend away with friends. Spotless accommodation with very responsive, flexible host, great facilities and awesome location. Loved every minute.
Very good weekend rental, plenty of space, great spa pool, very good kitchen layout, main table seated all 12 of us!! Clean, tidy on arrival. Would be happy to rent again if the opportunity arises.
We loved that there were separate sleeping quarters. The house communal spaces were big enough to all spread out and relax, the kitchen was a delight to cook in and the spa was a treat. The Bach is set up well for groups and has everything you need. It was very clean.
Everything we needed for a relaxing weekend was here. The 3 separate units were ideal for our 3 families. The verandah area on the main house was excellent for relaxing while enjoying a spa or cocktails or both. The big opening window from the kitchen makes an excellent bar area. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting a quiet time away from the city to enjoy the little town of Mangawhai. We will likely come back again.
Great place for a family weekend away. Large lounge / kitchen area was great to hang out in, while the cabin block and boatshed offered space for infants when required. Highly recommended.

What a beautifully designed house with many different parts to it. The main house is so well equipped, you will feel like you are at home. The patio is qn entertainers dream with the heaters and swing chairs, and the sunbed inside is the perfect spot to relax and read a book. I would go back in a heart beat. And you are only a short walk to the estuary or a quick drive away from the beach or the shops. We really loved our stay. Thank you
We enjoyed our time at this holiday house. The communication was excellent and all of my questions were answered. We were very happy with the holiday house and would highly recommend. Thank you.
My friends and I had a beautiful weekend in Mangawhai! The accommodation was great with the 3 separate units, making it more spacious and private for some people. The main house still allowed plenty of room for all of us to get together, had a nice big kitchen and doors opening to the balcony! Everything was clean when we arrived and the owner easy to contact.
Would definitely recommend this place! :)
