Tara Crest - Large, stylish, sunny holiday home in a beautiful rural setting

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
This large, modern and stylish holiday home sits on a large lifestyle block close to Mangawhai Village and the Heads. With all day sun and beautiful views over rolling countryside, it is an idyllic setting to get away from it all while still being close to the action. With lots of space and great entertaining options both inside and out, it is great for multiple families to holiday together. The four bedroom, two bathroom house sleeps 10 and separate to the house is a cute as a button cabin for those who want a quiet get away space (Please note the cabin doesn't have its own bathroom).
A jewel in the crown of this property is its outdoor entertaining, with large deck and outdoor dining table, a covered deck with large fireplace and pizza oven, and a relaxing hot tub. The large grassed area out front is great for the kids to burn off some energy and for summer games.
After a day at the beach this is a fantastic oasis to retire to, particularly when Mangawhai is at its busiest. On cooler nights bask in the warmth of the stunning gas fireplace inside or enjoy the outdoor fire. If the weather isn't so flash the Smart TV has Netflix and Neon. There is also plenty of parking space for cars and boats.
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.
