About this property

Estuary Escape - Waterfront property with estuary access

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
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.
Notes:
1. Please note this property is in a small gated enclave, so guests need to be respectful of neighbours with regard to noise and behaviour in accordance with our house rules.
2. Please be aware that there is direct access to water in front of the property so you should assess suitability for your group and young children should be supervised at all times.
3. The bunk beds are suitable for children under 12 only due to the size and weight rating.
Estuary Escape is a great spot to enjoy everything Mangawhai has to offer, come and check it out for yourself!
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 Pacific Beach, Te Arai, Pakiri and Langs 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.
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 Bookabach/VRBO take your credit card details, all booking payments are made to Bach Stay NZ Limited who manage this property for the owners. 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). Please note the amount stated as 'Deposit Paid at Property' on the Bookabach/VRBO quote is actually a refundable bond that will be collected as part of the accommodation payment, it is not collected at the property as the wording suggests.

Magical Mangwhai

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.

Special birthday celebration

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.

Amazing house and location

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.
