Handy to estuary, surf beach, shops, golf course, restaurants, cafes, walking tracks and Mangawhai Activity Zone - skatepark, playground, bike & running trails & sports fields.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

Don't worry about the kids - they'll be fine in this large fully fenced property, jumping on the safe trampoline, playing in the sandpit or kicking a ball around in the front yard.

With 7 bedrooms - 5 double beds and 6 singles (mainly in bunks) + 2 portacots, this unique house is perfect for large groups, or multiple families. The house is set up as 2 stand-alone houses which are joined at each end - one with sound barrier double doors between the two lounges. Open them up to give flow through to one large room, or close them off to keep the noise down or gain a bit of privacy. Two kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, lounges, wet area shower etc means you can have a bit of space to yourself, while still enjoying the company of your mates and their kids.

This property is set up to make holidays easy. Especially with lots of kids. One of the lounges is set up with full sound-resistant insulation to virtually sound-proof off the area. The adults can stay up late watching the cricket or rugby, and the kids can be up at the crack of dawn - without either disturbing the quiet sleeping areas throughout the rest of the house. There is plenty of room if the weather is not good.

Unlimited-use, ultra-high-speed fibre internet (up to 900Mbps down & 450Mbps up) along with wifi to most areas in the house means you or the kids can go crazy on netflix, spark sport, youtube or minecraft or whatever necessary if it happens to rain. Freeview or BYO sky box - we've got a dish installed ready to go so you can watch the rugby or cricket on the 65 4k TV.

A fisherman's dream setup, there's plenty of parking for the boat, washdown facilities handy, a large filleting table with barrels for transporting fish remains and a large wood-fired hot/cold fish smoker with wood supplied.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck or by the pizza oven and BBQ . Outdoor seating around a brazier.

    We had a fabulous stay. Lyn was super helpful. This is our 6th bookabatch holiday and we all voted this is an awesome place to stay. The rooms were all clean and tidy and we couldn't have asked for a better set up. The two kitchens worked well one side for cooking and the other side for our after hours drinkies. Mangawhia has great beaches and the town has a good range of shops erc. We'll back in the future. Thank, thankyou thankyou

    Great stay yet again. We went with the same group as last time - two other families - and the place is perfect. Loads of space, comfortable, clean and great sized back yard.

    We absolutely loved our stay here over Easter! It has everything you need to accommodate a large group with children, including a well equipped kitchen, a variety of bedroom configurations, and toys, books and games for the kids. It was wild and stormy weekend for our visit but house was perfect for watching the weather come and go. Mangawhai experienced a power outage on our first night, and we were very pleased to find several torches located in the kitchens. The outdoor oven was a highlight, with pizzas and Easter roast lamb featuring on the menu! Thanks so much for having us Michael and Lyn, we hope to be back again soon :)

    This is a beautiful property and was perfect for our large group. The multiple bedroom configurations worked well and having two kitchens and two lounges provided ample communal space. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. Communication from the managers was very professional. which is to die for!
