Perfect place for individuals, couples and families wanting a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and to enjoy the surrounding area. Only a 90min drive from Auckland city, you will be a short drive away from stunning surf beaches, estuary and bush walks, a number of cafes, Bennett’s chocolatier, shops, wineries and TeArai Links golf course.
Located on a private rural property just a short drive from Mangawhai Village, Mangawhai Heads and Te Arai. Enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets around an outdoor fire pit, play Pétanque or corn hole in the games area. You’ll hear lots of bird sounds including native Kereru and Tui as you wake and listen to them sing throughout the day.
This home is double glazed, light filled, open plan space encouraging outdoor living all year round. The lounge (with indoor fire place), spacious kitchen and bathroom is connected to two bedrooms by a large sunny deck, with a 8 seater outdoor table and chairs. 1/2 of the deck area (crossing from bedrooms to lounge/kitchen) is covered by a large pergola keeping you sheltered. Relax and enjoy the luxuries of a 4 person sauna, private plunge pool, outdoor shower and a bath, choose to watch the stars or relax in the sun on the deck hammock.
Bedroom One has a queen bed and 1 set of bunks (2 single beds).
Bedroom Two has a queen bed, as well as a single mattress available for extra sleeping space if required, such as if you have young children / just require another bed. Please let us know if you would like to use the single mattress so we can set it up for you.

We have a young permaculture food forest with over 60 fruit trees & around 100 bananas for the keen gardeners.
You'll have use of a dishwasher, washing machine and all general kitchen amenities. All linen is provided.
