Beautifully located on the Mangawhai Estuary, with uninterrupted views over the water, sits this classic Mangawhai holiday home!
Set right up against the edge of the estuary, you can enjoy private access via the estuary boardwalk or just sit back and relax on the spacious decks while enjoying the ever-changing view. There is easy access to a small beach with good swimming around high tide.

Ideal for families, Back Bay Beauty has three bedrooms that sleep up to 7 guests, a great place to come to and call home the next time you and the family are planning a little getaway.

Back Bay Beauty comes equipped with the essentials for easy summer holiday living, including a BBQ, and outdoor dining area for those al fresco meals in the warm summer evenings. There is also now a Nespresso machine BYO pods. A kayak and dinghy are available to explore the estuary, and there is an outdoor shower to wash off the sand and surf after a day on the surf beach!

Or if you're planning a winter stay, snuggle up in the comfy lounge area in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine.

If you feel like stretching your legs you can walk to the village shops, cafes and markets, otherwise it is only a couple of minutes drive. Mangawhai Surf Beach, walking tracks and vineyards are less than a 10 minute drive away or check out Te Arai, Forestry, Langs and Waipu Cove for other great beach options nearby.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
This property is within a gated community which gives privacy and a safe internal driveway. Please respect the neighbours who also enjoy their seclusion.
As there is unfenced access to the estuary and mangroves at the rear of the property, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.
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 your credit card details are taken during the booking process, we won't automatically charge your credit card. 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).

    Convenient, relaxed position. Supermarket across road but you would never know it being positioned behind a large shelter belt. The outlook was nice and would stay again

    Great location with private access to the boardwalk. The house was spacious, clean and tidy. It had two decks so you always had either sun or shade. The Bach Stay staff who assisted us were so helpful and even returned an item my daughter left behind. The internet didn't work unfortunately even after they had contacted the internet provider. Not too much of an issue as it meant no checking work emails while on holiday!

    Lovely place to stay. Clean and tidy, really big lawn- great for outdoor games! The walk out the back of the house was really cool. Deck on both sides of the house for shade and sunshine. Both families really enjoyed staying here.

    Was a nice spot for a relaxing weekend. Kids loved the DVD collection which was great due to the weather not being the best. Even though the weather wasn't great, was still a lovely weekend away.

    Great location on the estuary - close the the Supermarket. On the main road but quiet with large grounds and walkway from section over the mangroves. Our pup loved it. House great for stay - not flashee, but warm and cosy with everything you need. Highly recommended and will stay again. Mai and Graham

    We stayed for a few nights in winter. Easy access to walkway. Great house with good privacy and space. Super handy being close to the supermarket and quick drive to places we wanted to visit. Recommend it.
