About this property

This spacious home is ideal for a large family to relax on holiday together. The views are absolutely stunning, and the huge open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area is ideal for unwinding.
You can head out for a two minute walk to the estuary for a swim, or play at the park. On rainy days pull out the board games and get cozy around the fire, or head downstairs for some table tennis.
Kids can explore the bush behind the house without mum and dad having to worry.
With a large wrap around deck on the main floor you can enjoy eating al fresco in the summer months or enjoy watching the wild sea from your cosy spot next to the fire during winter. With recently installed Wifi so you can stay connected it really is the perfect getaway spot throughout out the year.
Located only an hour and a quarter north of Auckland City, Magical Mangawhai has plenty of entertainment to offer the holiday maker. The estuary is ideal for smaller kids, while the surf beach is perfect for more confident swimmers. Go fishing or diving, golfing or kayaking.

Go for a tour around the local vineyards or a show at the infamous Tavern!

Idealic location for a wonderful break

Such a comfortable and well set up house to completely relax. The open space upstairs, flowing out to the deck and exceptional views, was truly superb. Well organised management and comms. Will be back

Awesome!

This is the perfect property and location for a large family get together. The house is a big size with plenty of space for both adults and children. It is Lao fully catered faith everything you need! The pizza oven is a lot of fun and makes great pizzas and the table tennis room was an added bonus to occupy the kids. The location is fantastic with a short walk to the estuary and 3 min drive to a lovely beach. Natalie was great with anything we needed as wel as the property manager who answered any questions we had. We would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Stamilla

We are an Auckland based family with six (6!) children, two boys and four girls. We all really enjoy the relatively short commute up to Mangawhai to visit friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Why they chose this property

With such a beautiful view all year round you’ll never feel cooped up even if the weather isn’t on your side. It is so close to town, just a walk away as well from the estuary so there’s no need to get in a car every time you need to leave the house.
