Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
This modern, stylish, family-friendly holiday home is found in a quiet and peaceful rural setting close to Mangawhai Village and the Heads. With all day sun, a large flat lawn and a chook run out the back, it is an idyllic setting to get away from it all while still being close to the action. With plenty of space and excellent entertaining options both inside and out, it is great for a couple of families to holiday together. The four bedroom, two bathroom house sleeps eight, just note there are beds for seven and the eighth is a mattress on the floor in the TV lounge or one of the bedrooms.
The large grassed area out front with enclosed tramp is great for the kids to burn off some energy and for summer games, and you can join in or watch while relaxing on the deck with a cool drink. Immerse yourself in the rural lifestyle, feed the chickens and collect eggs and pick fruit and veges from the garden.
After a day at the beach this is a fantastic oasis to retire to, particularly when Mangawhai is at its busiest. If the weather isn't so flash the Smart TV has Netflix, Neon and for sports fans there is Sky Sport. There is also plenty of parking space for cars and a boat.
This is truly the perfect place to relax and enjoy the magic of Mangawhai under two hours from Auckland. Grab you friends and family for a truly memorable stay.
NB: Please note as mentioned above there are chickens on the property and they just need a bit of feed thrown to them each day, a fun task for the kids to do.
