One of the best beaches in the Auckland region.
Big Manly Beach is located halfway along the Peninsula on the north side. With a beautiful long sandy beach, children's play area, changing facilities, ski lane for boats and water sports. Two very large swimming zones marked with buoys. There is good vehicle access for launching boats from the beach and plenty of trailer parking. The beach is approximately one kilometre from end to end and is very sheltered from almost all winds.
No matter what the tide the beach is sandy all the to the water's edge with very little rocks or obstacles. At low tide you can also walk around the cliff edges to Tindalls Bay and beyond. There's a surf club and sailing school.
Big Manly is also the home of activity adventure companies Flying Forwards and Hauraki Adventures.

Perfect Getaway: Cozy Bach with Family-Friendly Vibes
We had an amazing stay at this charming bach. Its unique character and relaxed, family-friendly vibe made it the perfect retreat for our family. The outdoor pool and comfortable living area provided a great balance of relaxation and fun. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality of the owner and the overall quality of our experience. We would definitely recommend this bach to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Ladies weekend
Perfect location and set up for an amazing, relaxing ladies weekend away from it all. Hayden was super friendly and easy to deal with. The house was massive and had lots of breakaway spaces for our group. We had the perfect weather to enjoy the pool and a short walk to cafes and restaurants. Fabulous!

Disappointing.
Location great. House old and run down. There are rust holes through all the ranch sliders which someone has plugged with tissues. The lounge carpet (why carpet in a pet friendly rental?) has stains all over it. The lounge suites, couches are chairs are all old ( ok) but appear to never have been cleaned. The vertical blind cord was black with dirt. A day’s hire of a rug doctor (200) would sort the carpet and upholstery, or steam cleaning. Which I would have thought would be regular maintenance in a pet rental. Leather cleaner for the lounge suite. When a bird flew in and pooed on the carpet and I couldn’t find it amid the other stains, i was grossed out. I realised I couldn’t stay here and we packed up and left. The owner disagrees. I was expecting more for 550 per night. This has been a very expensive mistake.It’s not fenced if you bring your dog fyi.

Loved it - thanks!
Great location, plenty of space for the kids. A good, honest kiwi bach - may not be fancy or brand new etc, but was perfect for our family getaway. Super relaxed, and as comfy as a good roast dinner. Thanks

Relaxing Stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty space for all 12 of us to relax and not get in each others way. The beach is only 5min walk away, and our kids were there everyday. There is plenty family activities provided like, boardgames, toys, books also beach toys. It was very cold, our kids still enjoyed the pool. you do have to time it right with starting the fire and closing the curtains to keep the house warm. So thankful there was plenty of firewood. A Lovley family vacation!

Great for a family trip
We were an extended family with a couple of dogs and small children. The house is a good size and the property is enormous, with plenty of flat lawn for children and dogs to run around - although as noted in listing, the fence does not go fully across the road boundary so they do need to be watched. The kitchen and pantry are big and have plenty of cooking and dining utensils. The dining table would seat 8 comfortably, and I presume they could provide more dining chairs for a larger group than ours. There are heaps of board games and puzzles suitable for older children and some toys for younger children that were much appreciated. Also a big range of books! The big fireplace was very exciting for the children and heated the living rooms well, but the bedrooms were a little chilly overnight (June) and we couldn't find any heaters. Otherwise the bedrooms and bathrooms are good. The beach is very close and there's a park with a fantastic playground not much further along, very easy walking distance. Overall we had a great trip!
