The space
Down a quiet ROW you'll find our fully fenced property, with off street parking for 3 vehicles (or 2 + the boat).

You'll be greeted by our north facing outdoor entertaining area, complete with dining table, outdoor sofa, Weber BBQ, pizza oven (incl ingredients & bread maker to make dough) & private spa. Further back you'll find the outdoor shower & fish prep bench, both are a must at the beach!.

Inside you'll find an open plan kitchen (with a dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine) & living area, we love our plush couch to sink into while enjoying a movie or playing one of the many board games or enjoying each other's company around the table.

Finishing off the ground floor is a large room with queen bed, single room with bunks and bathroom.

Upstairs you'll find a sanctuary, a large sunny master bedroom complete with ensuite and private patio with views out to the Brynderwyns.

We know what it's like to live with teenagers, so we've converted the garage to a rumpus room (4th bedroom) complete with fold out sofas, entertainment, bunk beds and so much room for activities! Carpeted and insulated, its comfortable and importantly just that bit removed.

We have decked the bach out with a basketball hoop, Corn Hole, Kubb, Bikes, Boogie Boards, bikes (just bring helmets) and two big eskies.

We're a kiwi family that loves to surf, be social and be connected, we hope you enjoy the space we've created for just that.

Space for most recreational boats to be parked, enquire first.

About the host

Hosted by Janice

Host profile image
My partner Chase and I live in Auckland. We have 4 very active children, so we are very busy! We love to share our slice of paradise with others, and we get a real kick out of people enjoying our bach as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We are a family who all love surfing, the outdoors and the beach, Managwhai Heads offers all of the above. Our Bach is in a lovely peaceful ROW, so you can be as active or inactive as you please!

What makes this property unique

We genuinely care about you having a great time, so we have many added extras (free of charge) like marshmallows for smores, a Nespresso coffee machine, lots of board games, games for outdoors, bikes, ingredients and a bread maker to make the dough for the pizza oven (you just need to add ingredients)!
