About this property

Large Cliff top family friendly home

Handy to estuary, surf beach, shops, golf course, restaurants, cafes, walking tracks and Mangawhai Activity Zone - skatepark, playground, bike & running trails & sports fields.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

Don't worry about the kids - they'll be fine in this large fully fenced property, jumping on the safe trampoline, playing in the sandpit or kicking a ball around in the front yard.

With 7 bedrooms - 5 double beds and 6 singles (mainly in bunks) + 2 portacots, this unique house is perfect for large groups, or multiple families. The house is set up as 2 stand-alone houses which are joined at each end - one with sound barrier double doors between the two lounges. Open them up to give flow through to one large room, or close them off to keep the noise down or gain a bit of privacy. Two kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, lounges, wet area shower etc means you can have a bit of space to yourself, while still enjoying the company of your mates and their kids.

This property is set up to make holidays easy. Especially with lots of kids. One of the lounges is set up with full sound-resistant insulation to virtually sound-proof off the area. The adults can stay up late watching the cricket or rugby, and the kids can be up at the crack of dawn - without either disturbing the quiet sleeping areas throughout the rest of the house. There is plenty of room if the weather is not good.

Unlimited-use, ultra-high-speed fibre internet (up to 900Mbps down & 450Mbps up) along with wifi to most areas in the house means you or the kids can go crazy on netflix, spark sport, youtube or minecraft or whatever necessary if it happens to rain. Freeview or BYO sky box - we've got a dish installed ready to go so you can watch the rugby or cricket on the 65" 4k TV.

A fisherman's dream setup, there's plenty of parking for the boat, washdown facilities handy, a large filleting table with barrels for transporting fish remains and a large wood-fired hot/cold fish smoker with wood supplied.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck or by the pizza oven and BBQ . Outdoor seating around a brazier.

2 x kayaks and life jackets available- sizes available on request.
Special conditions:
New bookabach members must supply a reference for acceptance.

This house is two connecting flats. North flat (sleeps 4), South Flat (sleeps 12).

Ideal bach for large families with kids
Couldnt ask for a better place to stay in mangawhai! Lots of space for the adults to relax and kids to play. Not to mention there is a very short walk down to the water from the house. Everyone in my group was very happy with the stay and said they would happily come again. The hosts Michael and Lyn were great at communicating and were very accommodating. Thank you again for letting us stay at your wonderful bach.

As per other reviews - amazing multi family stay
Made for groups of friends with young kids. I didn’t actually leave the place all weekend. The kids LOVED it. Plenty of room. Super handy having two kitchens and the plastic bowls/ plates for little ones was perfect. Will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by mangawhai-clifftop

Host profile image
We are locals. We have lived most of our life in the surrounding area. Our home has been in the family for 26+years and before that the family lived in Mangawhai 40+years. We have put our home on HomeAway as we want other families to also enjoy our beautiful home and its surroundings as we have with our extended family.

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased by our parents who were getting elderly and needed to be on one level and also whose daughter had Motor Neurone Disease. She needed to be close by for support and at that stage the home was in two independant flats. We purchased the home off one of our parents, as the others had past away, and they wished to move into a retirement village. This home was perfect for them being elderly and disabled, and as the views of ocean & beach from our home are amazing and continually changing. Always something to enjoy.

We have altered the home to now have 7 bedrooms as we have a large family (23+?)with grandchildren etc, and we love to all get together and hang-out. We are able to have our own spaces when needed and love the facilities that Mangawhai itself offers.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor living with custom-built furniture, outdoor sounds, pizza oven, BBQ, brazier, fish smokers, trampoline, sandpit, swing. It has a completely fenced-in area for keeping the children and pets safe. It is only a few minutes walk to the water and there is room to park a boat for fishing, diving, wakeboarding, sea biscuiting etc .

The home has space for everyone with extra bathrooms, kitchens & lounges. For the disabled, we have also have a wet area shower room, but we do have a few small steps to enter the house. The house is all one level once inside the home. We have ultra-high-speed, unlimited use fibre internet available. Freeview, multiple TV's, surround sound etc.
