About this property
Kneedeep - Beautifully appointed, modern, sunny home with stunning estuary views
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period. Kneedeep is a beautifully appointed, sunny, modern holiday home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Heads. Recently completed, this holiday home has been designed to make the most of the stunning estuary views which can be seen from the open-plan living/dining/kitchen, master bedroom and of course the covered deck. With decks on both sides of the house you can catch the sun and avoid the wind as you please. There is a track which takes you down from the house to the edge of the estuary and kayaks are available for use while the tide permits (approximately 2 hours either side of high tide). For winter stays, the gas fire place and double-glazing ensure you can stay cosy and warm while watching the tide ebb and flow and experiencing the beautiful sunsets. There is a firepit that can be used when fire bans are not in place but you will need to supply your own wood (can usually be purchased from the local Four Square) Located in Taimoana Close, a quiet cul de sac,set back from the hustle bustle of Mangawhai Heads, it is only a 15 minute walk to the golf course and Mangawhai Activity Zone for the kids. If you want a longer stroll the Wood St Shops are 25 minutes away or the Village and markets are a 40 minute walk and everything is within about a 5 minute drive, including the surf beach. Suitable for 1-2 families or small groups of mature couples you're perfect summer or winter escape is waiting for you here - come and experience Kneedeep. Notes:
The bedroom which has a bunk set in the pictures has now been disassembled so that it is two singles. The coffee machine takes Dolce Gusto pods not standard Nespresso pods
LINEN OPTIONS: To keep your holiday more affordable, for this property we offer linen as an optional extra for guests who prefer to bring their own. If you choose to bring your own linen, you will need to supply top and bottom sheets, pillowcases, towels and bath mats. Pillows, Duvets and Duvet covers will be provided. Alternatively, a rental linen package is available for $25 per person. To request this service, please add a note to your booking specifying the number of people requiring linen and which beds you would like prepared.

Once your booking is approved we will send you a payment email with a choice of credit card payment (a 3% surcharge applies) or bank transfer (no charges).

House was perfect. Good size, great views of the estuary from the balcony. Nice and close to shops, supermarkets etc. beds were comfortable. Everything was excellent
Lovely quiet location overlooking the tidal estuary. A well appointed modern property made for a very comfortable stay with old friends.
Highly recommended.
The view from the living space hits you as you walk in and the deck provides a fantastic place to unwind. Wonderfully positioned for all the local beaches and facilities. A very comfortable and easy place to holiday!
Amazing property with heaps of room and a great location with stunning views.
So well equipped and close to town for stocking up with supplies. We felt relaxed and rejuvenated and wished we could have stayed longer.
The balcony is the real highlight- expansive view and well protected from weather so you can sit outside and enjoy the surrounds even if it is raining.
Really fantastic stay at this property. It's really modern and beautifully presented. The view is exceptional, you could sit all day and look out at it. The house is large and easily fit our party of three couples. There is lots of games and books and the kayaks were fun to use out on the estuary. Would highly recommend.
Lovely spot overlooking the peaceful estuary, very clean house and easy to navigate. We had a girls weekend getaway and did lots of cooking and eating so it was perfect for that. It's probably more of a summer house as the gas fire wasn't working and there are no heat pumps, however the house was nicely insulated so the heaters were fine. Would recommend to others.

Thanks for your feedback, it was unfortunate the fire wasn't working for your stay as we had pre-warned you about. The remote needs to be replaced so the owners are organising for that to be done. With the fire, heaters and double-glazing it is normally cosy in winter and we have had lots of guests enjoy it through the winter. Thanks again for staying.
Ever changing views from this beautiful property, and within walking distance or a few minutes drive to walking tracks, etc. The museum is walking distance & definitely worth a visit. Local food & markets were awesome. Highly recommend Knee-Deep. We were 2 couples on a getaway to celebrate our collective birthdays & this was the perfect accommodation
We had a relaxing weekend, cozying up by the fireplace and the outdoor firepit. The house was well equipped and very clean, large enough for kids to play hide and seek for hours. Morning paddle on the estuary was a cherry on top.
This is a comfortable modern home away from home, with everything you need plus a great lagoon outlook and a deck to enjoy it from. There's plenty of room and the sunny corners capture morning and afternoon rays when you need them. Top spot!
A girls weekend away at this property is a 'must'. Beautiful view, entertainers kitchen and living area, huge deck, comfy beds. The only small improvement would be some glass wine glasses to give that last top notch experience.
Property was perfect for our group & stay. Big enough to give everyone some space, and great view
Property was great set up for our group of 4 adults & 4 children. Estuary was a real hit being close by but also ability to get to either town village was also a bonus. Deck was great for night time relaxing.
