About this property
Spits End - Large, modern holiday home with stunning views a short walk to estuary surf beach
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 4 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 OPTIONS: To keep your holiday more affordable, for this property we offer linen as an optional extra for guests who prefer to bring their own. If you choose to bring your own linen, you will need to supply top and bottom sheets, pillowcases, towels and bath mats. Pillows, Duvets and Duvet covers will be provided.
Alternatively, a rental linen package is available for $25 per person. To request this service, please add a note to your booking specifying the number of people requiring linen and which beds you would like prepared.
BOOKING PAYMENT: Although your credit card details are taken during the booking process, we won't automatically charge your credit card. 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).
