About this property

Stunning family holiday home

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. Visit the famous Bennets chocolate factory, the cafes or restaurants and the Saturday market.
Go for a tour around the local vineyards or a show at the infamous Tavern!
There are plenty of things to do and see in Mangawhai!!

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Stamilla

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Lots to do; Very own bushwalk down behind the house for kids to explore.
