When choosing a holiday house in Doubtless Bay guests are obliged to make a location choice. Close to the water or fine views from up on the hill? Moanavista offers both. A private estate of over an acre at the cul de sac end of a quiet road. Featuring a 9m x 4m saltwater swimming pool, broad views over the Bay and just a few minutes drive from the pink sands of Cable Bay.
Recently built in a contemporary style and appointed with entirely new quality chattels and furnishings in 2023. Crisp white cotton hotel grade bed linen and plush toppers on mattresses with feather & down duvets: luxurious comfort. Moanavista is located in a Kiwi sanctuary, it’s not unusual to hear their nocturnal calls. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and generous open-plan living spaces full of natural light.
The tiered gardens slope gently to a bush clad fringe. Lots of outdoor furniture, gourmet BBQ and a children’s playground. Full-length part covered deck ideal for alfresco dining and keeping an eye on youngsters in the pool. A large smart TV, double glazing with fly screens, 3 heat pumps for year-round comfort and a double garage for guests’ use.
Located centrally in Doubtless Bay, close to the Coopers Beach shops and medical centre. A few kilometres from the boat ramps at Taipa or Mill Bay and a short drive from Historic Mangonui Village with its pub, gift shops, convenience store, coastal walkway, and world-famous fish shop out over the harbour.
A Private sanctuary far from the frantic scenes down on the beaches. The perfect estate to retire to at the end of a sun-soaked beach day or if you wish, at Moanavista, there’s a lot to be said for just staying put at your sub-tropical resort for up to eight guests.

We had a wonderful week in an incredible location. Pool and views in particular made it a very relaxing place to spend the day. Location is so handy and local beaches and food spots great. Would highly recommend
Best Xmas ever absolutely impeccable cleanliness it’s a 5 star everything all the way
On arrival I was met by a wonderful host David , who was so friendly and helpful everything we could possibly need and more was made available for our guests and loved ones which makes family time that much more fun and the environment was exceptional
We chose Moana Vista for its facilities, location and pool! It did not disappoint! The layout was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two minis. Easy indoor and outdoor flow. However, we were blown away by the pool! So amazing and a real treat! David, the property manager was friendly and very helpful. All in all we had the best time.
Perfect place for a family holiday. Location was perfect with beaches 1 minute down the road. Access to shops & food places was easy and close. The house was amazing & worth every dollar. The pool was perfect & clean, Kids enjoyed it! House was very clean when we checked in. David was easy to talk with & answered all our questions. Very helpful good guy and he was there on check in & gave a quick run down on the house which was helpful. Definitely be staying here again in 2025 hopefully! Thanks again David
