About this house rental

Handy to estuary, surf beach, shops, golf course, restaurants, cafes, walking tracks and Mangawhai Activity Zone - skatepark, playground, bike & running trails & sports fields.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

Don't worry about the kids - they'll be fine in this large fully fenced property, jumping on the safe trampoline, playing in the sandpit or kicking a ball around in the front yard.

With 7 bedrooms - 5 double beds and 6 singles (mainly in bunks) + 2 portacots, this unique house is perfect for large groups, or multiple families. The house is set up as 2 stand-alone houses which are joined at each end - one with sound barrier double doors between the two lounges. Open them up to give flow through to one large room, or close them off to keep the noise down or gain a bit of privacy. Two kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, lounges, wet area shower etc means you can have a bit of space to yourself, while still enjoying the company of your mates and their kids.

This property is set up to make holidays easy. Especially with lots of kids. One of the lounges is set up with full sound-resistant insulation to virtually sound-proof off the area. The adults can stay up late watching the cricket or rugby, and the kids can be up at the crack of dawn - without either disturbing the quiet sleeping areas throughout the rest of the house. There is plenty of room if the weather is not good.

Unlimited-use, ultra-high-speed fibre internet (up to 900Mbps down & 450Mbps up) along with wifi to most areas in the house means you or the kids can go crazy on netflix, spark sport, youtube or minecraft or whatever necessary if it happens to rain. Freeview or BYO sky box - we've got a dish installed ready to go so you can watch the rugby or cricket on the 65" 4k TV.

A fisherman's dream setup, there's plenty of parking for the boat, washdown facilities handy, a large filleting table with barrels for transporting fish remains and a large wood-fired hot/cold fish smoker with wood supplied.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck or by the pizza oven and BBQ . Outdoor seating around a brazier.

Couldnt ask for a better place to stay in mangawhai! Lots of space for the adults to relax and kids to play. Not to mention there is a very short walk down to the water from the house. Everyone in my group was very happy with the stay and said they would happily come again. The hosts Michael and Lyn were great at communicating and were very accommodating. Thank you again for letting us stay at your wonderful bach.

Made for groups of friends with young kids. I didn’t actually leave the place all weekend. The kids LOVED it. Plenty of room. Super handy having two kitchens and the plastic bowls/ plates for little ones was perfect. Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed many aspects of this property: 1. location to the estuary (walkway beside the property all the way to the waters edge) 2. Two well equipped kitchens/loungerooms - perfect for varying activites and conversation within the family/children groups. 3. Outdoor space with the most magnificent view! The 'dual' home is well set up for sport watching; family games and simply relaxing around the Pizza oven. We were especially fortunate to have a weekend of 'picture perfect' weather which meant we could utilise the outdoor space and views. Loved being able to speak directly with the property owner in order to do some planning before arrival. This made arriving with a large group of 12 adults and 2 kiddies so much easier! The owner was so very helpful with all my questions. Not being from the area, she was able to give me all the necessary 'pointers' to ensure our dream weekend was a huge success!. Thank you!

Excellent spot to stay with a larger family group spanning three generations. We loved the two kitchens and two lounges, which came in handy to avoid congestion when it came to meal prep time. Clean, tiny, and well equipped kitchens were useful too! Loved the deck, pretty view, and trampoline for the kids.

We loved our stay in this Mangawhai house! The convenience of two kitchens and living rooms was ideal for our stay with extended family. The house is very well organised and cleanliness is to a top standard. Communication with the owner was easy and detailed. The kids loved the large lawn area, trampoline and swing, keeping them busy for hours. Knowing the property is fully fenced gave us added peace of mind as well. Having the walking track down to the estuary right next door was very handy too. Thank you Mangawhai!

Great communication from the hosts-they we're very informative and helpful. The house was great with lots of rooms and an amazing view. The outdoor brazier and wood fired pizza oven was brilliant and the instructions were very helpful. Great indoor outdoor flow and our group really enjoyed staying here. We would definitely come back.

There was 14 of us (3 family groups) staying for a long weekend and it is just perfect, with so much space, lovely big decks and 2 kitchens, 7 bedrooms and now with the renovations having the ensuite and lovely new family bathroom is just perfect. Great spot and lovely views.

We stayed for a wedding, with 6 children and 11 adults, and the house was able to cope with all those people easily. The large back yard (with a fantastic view) with a trampoline and (covered) sandpit was a hit with the kids keeping them out of our hair. The two kitchens also meant we could prepare multiple meals without getting in each others way. Great for extended family reunions!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mangawhai Heads! We are a group of 6 families with very young children and the house and property were perfect for us to all hang out together, take trips to the beach and make hand-made pizzas to cook in the outdoor wood-fired pizza oven. The property is well taken care of and has an excellent layout that means you can get alone time or all come together in the large open spaces. The owners are fantastic communicators too, accomodating our large group with an early check in. We would stay again in future :)

We had such a great time, thank you. The house was spotless when we arrived. There was a great range of books, toys, and outdoor activities for the kids. Great having the use of two kitchens/dining/lounge areas. And the bedrooms were nice and quiet for babies to sleep in during the day. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return one day.
