About this property

The Castle - Modern, sunny, fully fenced holiday home with a lovely rural outlook

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Perfectly sited on a quiet cul-de-sac within a 5-10 minute drive to everything Mangawhai has to offer, this brand new home has fantastic indoor and outdoor living. The house is tastefully decorated and well-appointed, and the sunny deck with a lovely rural outlook to the Brynderwyns is a great spot to relax after a day at the beach or exploring Mangawhai.
Perfect for a family or 2 small ones and the section is fully fenced so you can relax in the security that any little ones cant wander. There is off-street parking for a couple of cars, and additional cars can park on the road directly outside the property. The TV has a Chromecast so you can stream your favourite shows from your device and with a heat pump, full insulation and double-glazing it is cosy in winter. For coffee lovers there is a Nespresso so BYO pods.
NB: Please note the BBQ shown in the photos died and has been replaced with a smaller model.
Make this your next beach holiday destination, you wont be disappointed.
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.
Mangawhai is the perfect summer holiday destination or coastal retreat. With its beautiful swimming and surf beaches and abundant marine life, Mangawhai is a popular spot for sailing, fishing, surfing, diving and summer family fun. The clear waters of the estuary provide safe family swimming, and the secluded white sand beaches of Te Arai and Pakiri are a short drive away.
Enjoy the vibrant art and cafe scene, local farmers market and the famous Bennetts Chocolate Shop. Soak up the natural beauty of this slice of coastal paradise, beachcombing, bush walking or just relaxing in a comfy chair with a glass of something cool.

Mangawhai Stay
This was a modern property with rural views and a short drive to the Surf Beach and the shops. We did the cliff walk again and there are a number of tracks for walkers. The outside surround of the property could do with a bit of tlc ie the lawns. Also maybe some more kitchen equipment such as a drainer for pasta and vegetables, a plunger for coffee( we purchased one) and teapot and eggcups- all inexpensive but useful. We were not bothered about the lack of dishwasher or air conditioning. The linen hire was of good quality although one tea towel to last the week was a bit ambitious but again we purchased another one. We had communications from VRBO, Book a Bach and Bach Care so we’re in no doubt about check in procedure.! Altogether a good base for exploring Mangawhai and the area.

Great bach with lovely country outlook
Very clean and comfortable bach, perfect family get away & bonus to have our family pet able to stay! Would have preferred to have regular channel TV as couldn’t get the chrome cast to work with sound. Property manager did try to access it without luck - but apart from that highly recommend this well thought out bach. Would like to stay again - thanks very much
