About this property
Molesworth Family Holiday Home
Magical Mangawhai is only 1 hour and 20 mins drive from Auckland city and is truly a Magical place to holiday with family and friends.
We welcome you to your "home away from home holiday" where literally across the road, you will find some of Mangawhai's best bush tracks, "The Club" (Bowling club) that provide a great and reasonably priced menu as well as the well known 18 hole Golf Course for those keen golfers.
Just a few minutes walk to your right, you will find the shops/restaurants for your morning coffee/baguette and the gorgeous estuary..... to your left, stroll down to the museum/cafe for a bit of history and a bite to eat, and for a bit of family time and activity, you'll find the park/playground for either a game of Tennis/Volleyball/Soccer/Basketball/Skateboarding/Swings Etc...The Skate ramps/bowls are popular for International/National events.
Then of course you have the Mangawhai Heads Beach which is a patrolled Surf Beach that is only a 4 min drive away or you can carry on to Langs Beach, Picnic Bay or Waipu Beach which are about a 12 - 15min drive further on.
Bliss on Molesworth will offer you a very relaxing and at home feel with minimal to do but to just kick back, relax on the wrap around deck which allows you to enjoy the all day sunshine following through to dusk.
Our aim for your stay is to have you come into an environment that may not be flash but is clean, tidy with a comfortable warm welcoming feeling that will make you feel that it is your own and you are at home. :-) :-)

Why they chose this property
It may be an old home but it is tidy, comfortable with plenty of room and very handy to all amenities.
It is in a prime position in Manganwhai Heads.
Rather than a modern flash BACH, it is a large home with the feel of it being a "home away from home".
