About this property

Spacious Coastal Bach | Hot Tub| Pizza Oven | Perfect for Families & Groups

Location, location, location
We’re just a short stroll from the estuary, surf beach, playground, skatepark, supermarket and local shops. The golf course, bowls club, boat ramp and the Wood St Bar are all just around the corner — or stay in and enjoy a Bach that’s set up for entertaining.

Fire up the wood-fired pizza oven, show off your culinary skills and let the kids roast marshmallows (provided).

*Perfect for Tradie weekday stays — ask us about discounted weekday rates.

🐾 Pets welcome

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Groups of 8+ welcome (please ask about bedding configuration if sleeping arrangements are important)

The Space - Tucked down a quiet ROW, you’ll find our fully fenced property with off-street parking for up to 4 vehicles (or 3 plus a boat).

You’ll arrive to a north-facing outdoor entertaining area, complete with:
Outdoor dining table & lounge
Weber BBQ
Wood-fired pizza oven - ingredients inc, plus a bread maker for dough
Private spa pool

Further back is the outdoor shower and fish prep bench - absolute must-haves after a day at the beach.

Inside, the Bach features an open-plan kitchen and living area with a dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. Sink into the plush couch for a movie, challenge each other to board games, or gather around for good food and better company.

Downstairs:
Large bedroom with queen bed
Single room with bunk - Double on bottom, single top
Bathroom - bath and shower
Separate toilet

Upstairs is your sanctuary - a sunny master bedroom with ensuite and private patio overlooking the Brynderwyns.

We know what it’s like living with teenagers, so we’ve converted the garage into a rumpus room / fourth bedroom. Fully carpeted and insulated, with a heat pump for winter, and air conditioner for summer. It includes fold-out sofas, bunk beds, entertainment and loads of space - comfortable, fun, and just far enough away.

Extras You’ll Love
Basketball hoop
Cornhole & Kubb
Bikes (bring your own helmets)
Boogie boards
Two large eskies
A cupboard FULL of board games
Play Station 4 Kiosk - Like in the stores

There’s space to park most recreational boats — please enquire first.

We’re a Kiwi family who love surfing, being social and staying connected, and we’ve created a space that reflects that. We hope you love it as much as we do.

We ended up staying here during a storm and were so glad we did. The bach is really nice, clean, and well set up, and the location is ideal—close to everything in Mangawhai. The host was lovely and easy to deal with.Would happily stay again

Had a really enjoyable stay at this bach. The spa was definitely a highlight, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The place was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a short getaway. It felt homely and easy to settle into. Overall, a good spot to unwind and enjoy some time away. Would happily stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Janice

Host profile image
My partner Chase and I live in Auckland. We have 4 very active children, so we are very busy! We love to share our slice of paradise with others, and we get a real kick out of people enjoying our bach as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We are a family who all love surfing, the outdoors and the beach, Managwhai Heads offers all of the above. Our Bach is in a lovely peaceful ROW, so you can be as active or inactive as you please!

What makes this property unique

We genuinely care about you having a great time, so we have many added extras (free of charge) like marshmallows for smores, a Nespresso coffee machine, lots of board games, games for outdoors, bikes, ingredients and a bread maker to make the dough for the pizza oven (you just need to add ingredients)!
