We loved our stay at Tin and Kurt's place - the house was so spacious (enough for our group of 9) and was minutes from the shops and the beach. A bonus was being able to bring our furry friends along! We cannot wait to go back again :)

Hey Sandamali, thanks so much for your lovely review! So glad you had a great stay in Mangawhai and we'd welcome you back anytime :)
This is a spacious place with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed here during a rainy week over summer and it was a great spot with lots of room and everything we needed to survive the indoor time. There is a big backyard and a lot of space for kids to run around outside.

Thanks Sarah! I was gutted for you that the weather didn’t cooperate, but glad you had a great time anyway 😊
We had a great stay. The house was really comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Lots of room for two families. Lovely big garden for the dog, and walking distance to the beach and estuary. Thanks for making us feel very welcome. Wish we could have stayed another night!

Hi Linda, so glad you enjoyed your stay. You were exceptional guests and I'd welcome you back anytime. Thanks for the lovely review. All the best, Tin
Great space for our two families, lovely family feel and comfortable
Great spot plenty of space. Brilliant communication and lovely welcoming surprise. We’re very pleased with our relaxing stay and would recommend. Our two fur babies loved it too. Thank you 🙏
The property is delightful, well situated between Mangawhai and lacing’s beach. Spacious with lots of sleeping options for a large group. It was lovely being able to take our dogs. The only minor issue was the bunk beds are really only child size and didn’t fit our teens

Hi Sandra, thanks for your lovely review - so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for leaving the property so clean and tidy when you left!
That's a great point re: the bunks - we got those a few years ago so I'll take this as a bit of a nudge to upgrade them (as well as update the sofas in the games room to sofa beds).
Thanks again, have an awesome 2025!

House was huge, there were rooms we didn’t need to use at all. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need (washing powder, heaps of towels, pantry staples, great sound system, every kitchen tool you can imagine etc.) Tineke and Kurt were awesome at replying promptly when we needed them. Would highly recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again

Thanks so much Clare, for your review and being such amazing guests. You left our place spotless and I’d not hesitate in recommending you or having you stay again. All the best, Tin 😊
We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The home is huge and so beautifully presented and maintained. It felt luxurious but also very homely. The layout of the home is perfect for hosting big groups, an awesome kitchen with all the facilities we needed PLUS MORE!!! The couches are so comfortable, and the young ones enjoyed having the games room also. I need to mention also the beautiful deep bathtub and those were the most awesome showers I have ever been in - EXCELLENT PRESSURE!!! Our entire family had lots of fun in the spa pool and enjoyed the gorgeous views surrounding the property and my boys in particular had lots of fun on the massive lawn area. It was great being so close to all the shops and that magical beach. This is the perfect home for a family getaway. I highly recommend it. The host is absolutely lovely and made us feel very welcome and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was awesome ... very lovely people ...thank you so much for having us 🥰

About the host
Hosted by Tineke
Why they chose this property
This place is roomy, sunny and has a rural aspect while being only a few minutes from the main surf beach and shops. It's really private (no immediate residential neighbours) and features lots of trees, birds and greenery.
What makes this property unique
Privacy - you likely won't find somewhere this private to rent in Mangawhai Heads unless you go properly rural.
Best of both worlds - rural feeling with the space that comes with that (and mountain views), but nudges right up against Mangawhai Heads village, so the beach and shops are only 2-3 minutes away by car.
