Heaven Awaits - Fantastic beach house for 1-2 families, amazing views, a short stroll to the water
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period. The perfect holiday home for 1-2 families! Perched above Mangawhai Harbour with sensational views out to the Pacific Ocean you are perfectly positioned to laze your days away on the front deck and watch the world go or stroll a few minutes to the beach (avoiding those pesky traffic jams at the car park in summer!). You are also only a short distance to Wood St shops. There is also a fireplace and two heat pumps so if you're after a winter escape you will still be able to enjoy the wonderful views but stay toasty and warm. Bring your own accounts so you can access the likes of Netflix and Prime on the Smart TV. There is a decent lawn area behind the house for kids to play on and extensive decking on both sides of the house so whichever way the breeze is blowing, you can be outside enjoying the sun. Heaven Awaits! Please note the Wifi does not extend to the lower end of the house where the bedrooms are. 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 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.

We stayed over Christmas and had a lovely time. The views are amazing and the house is spacious. Lovely bedrooms and the Estuary is just a quick walk for swimming.
Stunningly located bach perfect for families. Close to beaches and shops, lots of space and some great toys and games for the kids to play with. Highly recommend!
Large, spacious house with multiple outdoor areas. Had a few wobbles but the property manager was very quick to address them. Would highly recommend for groups or families. Great location walking distance to both estuary and beach.
Beautiful property, met and exceeded expectations. Plenty of space for all ages to be together or escape for quiet time. Stunning views - look forward to returning for coffees and wines on the deck another time. Only downfall is one toilet but we all managed just fine. Great location for walks to surf beach and estuary.Thank you, highly recommend and we'll be back.
We arrived to a clean house and amazing view of the sea and estuary of Mangawhai heads. Some of the equipment like the dishwasher doesn't work that well, but otherwise the equipment to use in the kitchen is really outstanding. Would love to return one day with my friends.
Very nice property - suggestions are:
Wifi coverage is poor on the lower bedroom level - needs a booster
Bed in master/main bedroom ( rear back LH corner is way to hard for a holiday rental - had trouble sleeping every
night.
TV - complicated,
Property Manager - Dave- very nice to deal with
Great views and very well equipped kitchen
All was good apart from it smelling like cat wee and the lawns being ridiculously long when we first arrived and having to contact to get cut. Other than that. Clear instructions and nice and tidy with a beautiful view. We were disappointed coming from overseas that we were still supposed to pay $25 per person for linnen. That seems a bit ridiculous.
Perfect house for a weekend with friends. Spacious, clean and tidy! Great layout and outdoor area. Location was handy and just a few minutes to the shops and hotspots.
Had a great time with friends & children nice & close to everything & with use of the kayaks & plenty of room for kids to play whilst adults enjoyed relaxing couldn’t have asked for more - thanks Mangawhai heads!
Thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful property with us. It is great for a multigenerational holiday. The wee ones loved the playroom complete with toys. It is large and well equipped and the fire worked well to keep us all warm. The views of the Heads are spectacular and I could have spent all day gazing out to sea. A pod of Orca out in front was the icing on the cake.
Conveniently located with a great view across the estuary. The house is spacious and comfortable. The fireplace was a must for our winter stay and did not disappoint.
A home away from home.
Our group try to get away twice a year, we have stayed in many places.
This has to be one of the top, if not the top locations we have stayed at. Great views, relaxing, living area is separated from the sleeping area, so you can have day naps in peace. Has kids play area, kayaks and a beautiful fireplace to keep you warm at night. A quick walk to the beach short trip to Mangawhai, Langs, Waipu Cove.
This was the easiest and relaxing trip we have had.
We loved staying at "Heaven Awaits". The location of the property was better than we had hoped for. The house was comfortable, relaxing very well equipped with great views of the estuary and the ocean. Very short drive to shops and the main surf Beach. We would definitely stay there again. We highly recommend this property.
Has plenty of space to relax in. Comforts of home. Nice layout. Comfortable bedrooms. Warm environment. Great location. Short walk to surf beach. Lovely views
