About this property
Private getaway in Mangawhai Heads
Escape to our tranquil spot in magical Mangawhai surrounded by stunning views and a few minutes drive to the Heads beach and some of Mangawhai’s best spots.
On offer is our cabin which contains :
• Shower and toilet
• 2-seater couch
• Google TV
• Fan
• Basic kitchen (bar fridge with small freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle with crockery and cutlery)
and a separate unit next to the cabin (accessed from the deck):
• Double bed
• Fan
Let the sunlight flood the whole space on a sunny day, or enjoy the soothing sounds of rain on the roof as you stay snug inside. Step outside to your private deck, perfect for soaking up the fresh air while enjoying a morning coffee or soaking in the sunset.
Situated up the driveway, away from the main house, you'll have all the privacy you need to escape your normal day to day! But we’re contactable if you need anything – we’re here to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
There's plenty of parking available, making it easy for you to come and go as you please.
Whether you're looking for a cozy hideaway or a base to explore the beautiful Mangawhai area, this tiny house is ready to welcome you.
Some of what Mangawhai has to offer that is right on our doorstep :
• Mangawhai Heads town (3 min drive): Enjoy the convenience of being close to the charming Mangawhai Heads town, just minutes away. Explore its cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, all within easy reach.
• Mangawhai Heads Beach & Cliff Walk (6 min drive): This is a beautiful beach and scenic cliff walks. Called ‘Magical Mangawhai’ largely because of this area in our opinion!
• Tanekaha Walking Track (7 min drive): Choose from four tracks or just relax at the base with a picnic basket, or a short walk to the first waterfall where you can cool off in the swimming hole.
• Mangawhai Activity Zone (5min drive): This is a great place for families. They have Northlands best Skatepark and Kaiparas best outdoor zone! Basketball courts, playground, pump track, tennis court, bike and walking tracks, soccer field, BBQ area, and of course a café with amazing fresh breads and coffee!
• The Mangawhai Tavern with their weekend markets and events
• Bennetts of Mangawhai Chocolate shop delight in their hand-crafted chocolates or visit their café with their irresistible hot chocolates and delightful meals

About the host
Hosted by William Lee
We have lived in Mangawhai Heads for 6 years enjoying the rural lifestyle. We welcome others to come and experience this beautiful area and all that Mangawhai offers. We have sheep, chickens, friendly dogs and bees that keep us busy! Who knows you may even wish to sample our honey. The cabin is very private and set approx 80 meters from our house so unless you reach out to us we will respect your privacy at all times.
