Seacoast Sanctuary is a brand new, high end holiday home in the gated 'Heads' subdivision by Mangawhai's popular surf beach. It is hard to find a better location when you can be so close to the action but can retire to this peaceful sanctuary. It is just a short walk to both the surf beach and Picnic Bay (estuary) and there is nearby access to the Goldschmidt Panoramic walking track and the renowned Clifftop walkway featuring breathtaking views towards Te Arai and Leigh.
The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house has been set up purely for guests and every detail has been well thought out for your enjoyment. The kitchen has high end appliances and a Nespresso and the walk in scullery ensures there is plenty of room for storage and prep. The open plan living area has a large screen TV with Netflix and Lightbox (bring your own accounts) and a bluetooth soundbar for your audio enjoyment. The living flows onto an expansive covered deck with views to the ocean and Little Barrier and there is Weber BBQ so you can cook up a storm while enjoying the view.
Set up for summer or winter stays with ceiling fans in each bedroom and a gas fire place and heat pump/air con unit, this is a great holiday home in a great location. Come and experience it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Please note the following:
1. The gated environment is a relaxing environment and guests must be respectful of our neighbours, some of whom are permanent residents. Loud music or any noise that could disturb neighbours is not permitted and there is no smoking within the gated area.
2. There is now a house next door on what was previously a vacant section, as shown in a couple of the photos of the exterior of the house.
LINEN: For this property one set of linen (sheets, pillowcases, towels, hand towels, bath mats and tea towels) is included as part of the Cleaning Fee, just bring your beach towels. If you are staying longer and want additional linen changes/cleaning, this can be arranged for an additional fee.
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).
Mangawhai is the perfect summer holiday destination or coastal retreat. With its beautiful swimming and surf beaches and abundant marine life, Mangawhai is a popular spot for sailing, fishing, surfing, diving and summer family fun. The clear waters of the estuary provide safe family swimming, and the secluded white sand beaches of Te Ari and Pakari are a short drive away.
Enjoy the vibrant art and cafe scene, local farmers market and the famous Bennetts Chocolate Shop. Soak up the natural beauty of this slice of coastal paradise, beachcombing, bush walking or just relaxing in a comfy chair with a glass of something cool.

    Nice location - house modern but living area is a bit spartan - couches uncomfortable. Very noisy when windy (hard to sleep at night).

    What an incredible stay! This hilltop gem in Mangawhai exceeded all expectations. The views were absolutely breathtaking — panoramic vistas of the rolling hills and sparkling ocean below made every moment feel magical. The home itself is a masterpiece of design, combining impressive style with comfort in the most seamless way. The open spaces, sleek modern furnishings, and attention to detail created a perfect, relaxed atmosphere.We loved the large windows that let in natural light and allowed us to take in the stunning surroundings from every room. The outdoor area was equally impressive, with a spacious deck perfect for lounging and soaking in the scenery.The property was impeccably clean and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Whether we were exploring the nearby beaches or simply enjoying the tranquility of the home, it was the perfect escape. The host was warm, friendly, and quick to provide helpful tips about the area.We can't recommend this place highly enough — if you're looking for a luxurious, stylish retreat with incredible views, this is the spot! We’ll definitely be back!

    The house was very spacious and well equipped with beautiful views across to the sea. The living area was very comfortable space is very relaxing. The house is right up on the hill which means the sunsets and sunrises are beautiful but we did experience some unusually very windy weather which made the house shake her little! Also there was no air-conditioning upstairs bedrooms so after a hot sunny day it was very.at night

    Our families arrived from South Africa and Canada for a 3 week family reunion and this property ticked all of the boxes for everyone. We never got tired of the views or the daily beach walks/hikes. The kitchen amenities and barbecue made cooking easy and we ate in most of the time. It was a short drive to the new grocery store and if you don't want to eat in, the village offers a selection of eateries. However you do need a car to get around town easily. Communications with management was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to book here again if we ever return.

    We stayed for 3 nights. Loved it. Better than the pics. Quiet and stunning and modern. Pros: So private, views from every room. Bathtub was amazing. Gas water so endless and good pressure. Three bathrooms ideal Cons: Two smaller rooms are quite small and the beds are quite soft. No Aircon in any of the bedrooms and there are no blinds in the kitchen or lounge, which none of that may matter to some but was our only negative feedback. We would still go back.

    A great bach for a small group, gorgeous views from the top of the hill. Great location for Mangawhai heads beach. Bach was a great size for our group of 5. We could also make use of the tennis courts with the bach rackets. Would love to see some other beach toys supplied such as body boards. Up a steep hill for the adventurous runners out there.
