About this property

Seaviews, 3 minute stroll to beach

We offer a comfortable sun-drenched holiday home with beach access only metres from the front door, and native bush right behind. Our modest beach house is located in a cul-de-sac of exclusive homes and offers a peaceful family retreat in either summer or winter. It's possibly the closest holiday rental to the beach.

The interior combines open plan living with easy access to wrap-around decks where you can enjoy the sea views in front and native bush behind the property.

Downstairs are two double bedrooms with comfortable queen size and double beds and a generous shared bathroom/laundry and separate toilet.
Upstairs is another bathroom and a giant kids' wing featuring 2 x near new king single beds and a wide-screen TV (plus board games and lego.)

The property includes off-street parking for 2 cars. Plus access to the private members-only Langs Cove tennis courts (2), subject to court side booking. (You can use our racquets but BYO tennis balls.)

Surrounding Mangawhai and Waipu Cove/township offer lots of activities - coastal walks, fishing, golf, wine tasting, farmers and craft markets, and cafes including the acclaimed Bennett's chocolate factory.

Come and see for yourself why this piece of paradise hooked us! If you wish to request a booking, please tell us a little about yourselves and who will be staying. Thank you.

Special conditions:
- Your own bed linen (pillowslips/sheets) and towels is required as there is no local linen service available. We've tried to find one!
- Minimum bookings apply: Jan - 5 nights, all other months 3-night minimum.
- No parties, smoking or pets allowed on the property.
- No tents allowed on the site. We're respectful of our permanent neighbours so strictly no parties or loud music outdoors after 10pm.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$120.00 per stay)

DISCLOSURE: Following a spate of local break-ins and items stolen from our property, we installed EXTERNAL CCTV cameras to monitor the access points to the house from the street and adjoining land to satisfy insurer concerns. Please be assured there are absolutely no cameras inside the house to respect guest privacy. We reserve the right to keep these external cameras operational 24/7.

Lang’s stay

Great house and location. Suited our family stay perfectly. It had a well equipped kitchen plus an extra fridge freezer as well as a few toys available (tennis, kayaks). Only negative (if you can call it that) is having to bring linen and towels). Highly recommend.

Wonderful holiday pad. Has all you could ask. Lovely quiet spot. Easy access to calm beach and beautiful Seaview from the house and deck. Just wished we’d bought more meals along so we didn’t have to drive for meals and just relax. Thanks to the owners for a lovely stay. Good communications.

Location as expected. House was not particularly clean, with unpleasant smell in bedroom one.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
Thanks for your feedback, sorry if the house wasn't up to your standard. We cleaned it ourselves prior to departure and it's the first time in 3 years anyone has remarked about housekeeping. We'll investigate your comment about the smell in our own bedroom - musty wardrobe perhaps? To be expected in a Kiwi bach during a very wet week. Hope you enjoyed your early check-in.

Great for 2 small families or multi generation family

We had a lovely stay, in line with other reviews. Found it to be a great set up - the queen size bed (perfect for the grandparents) and double (for us) were on the same level as bathroom/ kitchen / lounge etc. We only had our 1 toddler with us but upstairs is well set up for multiple kids. I would note for mums there’s a frosted window between the lounge and the loft so if you need the room dark bring a blackout curtain ;) would def stay again, thanks Liz!

Awesome trip to Langs beach

Great bach - excellent place to stay with family and just a short walk to beach. Bach accommodates well a large family, and the kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the bach was very warm for a mid winter trip (with heating provided by heat pumps). The hosts have also taken the time to write an excellent set of notes on the amenties and also local places to visit ie walks, cafes and local museums etc They are a must read at the start of your stay so you get the most out if your trip. The bach also has has a beautifullylandscaped and well maintained garden that back onto native Bush. We will be back for sure.

Langs Haven Stay

We had a lovely weekend up at Langs Haven and found the house a comfortable place to spend a winter weekend. There were extra duvets in the closets for the bedrooms and the heater in the living room made the space toasty. The loft space upstairs worked really well for the 4 pre-teen cousins and the landscaping was beautiful. The place was an easy stroll to the boogie boarding waves near the tractor entrance to the beach and the outdoor shower made post-beach clean up easy. The owners were also very responsive and accommodating. It would be a wonderful summer house with the various outdoor spaces on the wrap-around deck.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Lyons

Host profile image
We're an Auckland-based, beach-loving family of four. Andrew's a keen gardener and fisherman, Liz prefers reading and hiking. Our dream was to one day own a beach home at Langs - one of the best beaches in NZ.

Why they chose this property

You possibly won't find another holiday rental closer to beautiful Langs Cove than our place. Which is why we bought the property and undertook a modest refurbishment - new decking, external paint, new beds and gardens.

What makes this property unique

Level walk 3 minutes to beach
Beautiful bush and native birds border the property
Sea views
Stunning garden
Clean and comfortable
