Island View - Modern holiday home with fabulous indoor outdoor living and spectacular views
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period. This holiday home offers all the mod-cons of a modern bach but in a peaceful rural setting. Nestled into native bush with mature kauri and totara on one side, the property faces out to panoramic views of the Mangawhai Harbour valley, the Hen and Chicken Islands and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the open plan living with fireplace for winter or bi-fold doors which open up to an outside lounge and covered deck area, with a large lawn for the kids to play. The property is light filled and sunny and every room has a beautiful outlook, the minute you step through the doors you will feel relaxed and won't want to leave. This property features 3 bedrooms - 2 with a Queen, and the third with 2 sets of Single Bunks. Note there is a Chromecast on the TV so you can cast your favourite apps and there is also Freeview. Despite the rural location, it is ideally located as a base for all the local beaches as it is only 10 - 15 minutes drive away (check out Te Arai in the height of summer when Mangawhai Heads beach is chocka!). The shops, cafes and markets at Mangawhai Village are only a 5 minute drive and Mangawhai Heads just a few minutes further up the road. Waipu, Waipu Cove and Langs are only 15-20 minutes away. The design and position of Island View holiday home guarantee a peaceful and unique beach holiday experience. 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.

Situated on a hilltop with beautiful views.
We had a awesome time exploring the Mangawhai from this location which had all the amenities in a great location.
Country experience with amazing ocean views, but only 9 min from a major supermarket.Bush setting lovely, but mosquitoes a pain. Travellers should have bug spray.Would rent it again.
Great stay in the rolling hills looking out over the island in the distance. Great layout offers nice kitchen, living, dining open area and separate bedroom wing. Perfect size for our family. Designed with clear thought, positioned for great views, highly functional. Had a great time! Thanks.
Great place to stay. Excellent house in fantastic location with privacy and views. Only 10 mins from Mangawhai, so nice and handy. Clean, modern and great fun.
We had a wonderful stay at this property in Mangawhai. The views are amazing and the house was great for a weekend away with family and friends. Highly recommend for others!
Our family absolutely adored our stay at this property. Dave & Steph from Bach Stay were great to deal with! The home had plenty of space for 2 families. Lots of room for entertaining & the views are phenomenal. The house had everything we needed including a couple of great toys for the kiddies & a good selection of DVDs. The bath is breathtaking! Only thing missing is a spa pool! 😉
I already can't wait to come here again! The property manager was quick to reply to my messages and took the time to meet me in the town centre to pass on information. The place is beautiful with sceneary that you can stare at all day. Warm house, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen.
Beautiful views, absolute peace in nature. My guests and I loved the location and house it was a perfect spot to unwind and rest. Seamless check in - just easy as a break away should be. Would love to stay again!
Loved staying here, exactly as per the pictures, clean, spacious, comfortable, great for family, had everything we could want for cooking dinners and breakfasts. Lovely location near Mangawhai for markets, chocolate, food etc. Peaceful and quiet. Having fans in two of the rooms was great and beds were comfortable.
Only marked down cleanliness as kitchen surfaces could have been a little cleaner on arrival however this property totally lived up to all expectations - spectacular bush and sea views and a lovely modern home with all the trimmings, a very comfy bed and lovely outdoor living. We'd love to revisit.
