About this house rental

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

All that you want for your beach holiday is here in this spacious modern holiday home. Some of the best views in Mangawhai greet you as you enter the upper level and there is a large deck for making the most of the vista. Located across the road from the estuary and only a minute or so walk to the surf beach you can leave the car behind.

The house is modern and funky but not pretentious and designed for 2 families to enjoy together or one family to really spread out! With 5 bedrooms, two bathroooms and an extra toilet it caters well to large groups.

You'll struggle to decide which of the beaches to walk to or whether or not you should just open up the massive ranch sliders and just laze around the house and enjoy the spectacular sea views on offer. In the winter there is a large gas fire place to keep things cozy.

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.

The property is very well maintained and equipped. The views from the lounge/kitchen area are amazing. The location is also very handy with the house only being a 5-minute walk to the beach which has amazing walks, or the supermarket. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

This is second time we’ve rented this property. It’s well situated, close to beaches and very comfortable. Indoor dining table could be bigger (for larger groups) however everything was well appointed and a delight.

My family really enjoyed the house, it was a short walk to the beach and the lounge room had a really nice view. The owner and bach manager welcomed us to the house and were super hospitable. We have nothing bad to say about this experience!

Fabulous house to share a winter escape. Spacious and very close to beach walks. Beautiful views for time spent indoors and large gas fire gives a cosy vibe.

My family and I had a lovely weekend. The property had plenty of room for a wide range of age groups. Only a couple of recommendations; the seal on the oven is damaged, frayed and allows the heat to escape (it should be replaced) Bedrooms are great but it would really useful to have a couple of bedside lights in the second bedroom upstairs. However, highly recommended and we would definitely stay again. Thank you.

The one thing we would all say, is that there really should be Sky provided / we didn’t realise one had to bring a card, so we didn’t and could get Freeview to work either - it was ok for us but we would have enjoyed the option to watch the rugby! Also, bedside lamps are needed in all the bedrooms and bulbs that work. Also, swimming towels really should be included - it is a beach bach after all!

We had a lovely stay, the property is spacious and the large deck just perfect for meals and afternoon drinks. Close to the beach which is great. The kitchen is well equipped, great water pressure in the bathrooms and excellent parking for multiple cars.

Loved the We definitely look forward to staying here again.

We had a ladies weekend with 6 of us. The property was immaculate. The kitchen was really well stocked plenty of cutlery, crockery and most importantly glassware. The location was amazing with a very short walk to the beach. The markets in town were great on the Saturday morning.

The house is beautiful with big wide sliding doors opening on to a huge deck in front of amazing sea views. The kitchen, bathrooms and lounge are all high-spec and a pleasure to spend a weekend in. Just a few minutes walk from the beach - it's idyllic.

Stayed with a group of girlfriends and everyone enjoyed their stay. The accommodation was well appointed, very comfortable and the view is stunning. Close to the surf beach and five minutes drive from the village it was a very relaxing base from which to explore the area. Thank you

Fab elevated view and great location

Fab elevated view and great location

This property has a estuary view to die for from its upper storey spaces - living/ dining and two of the bedrooms. The lower floor is ho-hum but would be fine for say children under 15. Bathrooms are well appointed but the kitchen facilities were a mixed bag - great coffee machine, heaps of crockery/ cutlery, generally good cookware and fittings but a missing few smaller things like decent cutting boards, prep knives, etc ......but probably fine if you embrace a Bach mentality. Only real gripe was the maintenance - lack of a working vacuum cleaner affected us (and obviously the regular cleaner) and it would have been a nice mid-winter welcome if the gas bottles were full on arrival - both ran out during our 4 night stay -though there were some good bedroom electric heaters as back up. Beds and furniture was generally well provided for and suitably comfy - sufficient for 9-10 people. The location is 5 mins easy walk to the surf club and surely one of the best beaches in NZ - the stunning cliff top walk (a must) starts/ ends a further 15 mins from there. There is also the harbour estuary to the south of the surf club. Mangawhai Heads shops/ cafes are 5 mins by car and Mangawhai township (and its TWO Sat markets and Choc shop) a further 5 mins away. So all in all a great place to get away from the city - and boy, especially that view.....

Great property. Will be fantastic when it’s finished. The site location is excellent.

The home’s situation is perfect for the surf beach and estuary access. The views from the front decks are spectacular. The open concept works well for multiple families and is tremendous for entertaining and meal prep. If there were ammenitíes missing we did not notice. BBQ, espresso machine, stereo, fireplace (although it was too hot to use it) and a TV were all available. Multiple fridges and laundry were also included. Parking was easy for multiple vehicles. Bedrooms were well appointed and the beds were comfortable. We’d be happy to book it in the future and hope to have the opportunity to do so.

Spits End is the most magnificent house! We booked the home for our accommodation for our wedding week. The house is huge and flows beautifully and the views are simply breathtaking. Everybody that came over to say hi was blown away with the house and the views. Would recommend the home to anyone looking to get the best view of Mangawhai whilst staying in a warm, clean, large home!
