A rare find, this waterfront property boasts a modern, family friendly, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with direct access to the estuary. Set on a sunny, flat site on the edge of the estuary, you can swim, kayak or paddle board right from your doorstep(tide permitting). Within walking distance of all that Mangawhai Village has to offer, Tavern, markets, Bennetts cafe and chocolate shop, Dune, Eight, The Corner Bistro and much more. It is also a great area to bike around with plenty of flat streets and paths to explore.
The house itself is split into two parts with an enclosed breezeway between. On one side is a lovely open plan living/dining/kitchen space which leads out onto a large deck overlooking the estuary. In addition, it incorporates the master with ensuite and laundry. On the other side are the remaining three bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet and second living. The breezeway is a great spot for dining and relaxing, on warm summer days it provides some welcome relief from the sun, on cooler days slide down the blinds and put on the outdoor heaters to keep things cosy.
For entertainment there is a large Smart TV, board games and an enclosed trampoline.
There is plenty of parking space for cars and a boat.

    We had a fabulous trip to Mangwhai with my family and parents. It is so close to the tavern and everything in Mangwhai. The house was perfect and just in front of the steps to swim in the estuary.

    Property was exactly as advertised and more. Communication and check in was smooth and easy. Huge house right on the estuary and plenty of room for everyone. Liked that the main bedroom and ensuite was away from the other bedrooms. The kids especially enjoyed the bunkroom. Perfect indoor/outdoor dining room, bbq and deck. Short walk to the markets.

    The house and location couldn’t have been better. We had an amazing time. The only thing that could have made it better was if hand soap had been provided.
