About this house rental

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Classic kiwi bach with retro charm!
When this house was built in the 70s it was the only bach in the area. The kids used to build huts in the bush, explored nearby sheep trails and ponds. Mangawhai has changed since then and the kids have grown up (and now they own the bach!) but the bach has had a makeover and extension whilst retaining its retro charm and awaits your visit
Built on a large section with lots of mature trees, the house is ideal for a summer holiday as the beach is only a short stroll down the road and the shops and cafes at Wood St are also a short walk.
Please note this property does not have Wi-Fi
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.
BOOKING PAYMENT: Although your credit card details are taken during the booking process, we won't automatically charge your credit card. 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).

    10.0 / 10.0
    Ideal location for trips to the surf beach, Waipu and handy to the Wood St shops and also Mangawhai Village with Bennett's Cafe and local gallery. Beach at the end of the road great for swimming and also for evening walks. Plenty of other walking trails nearby. Tracey (and Bianca) were very helpful and welcoming.

    10.0 / 10.0
    We loved this pad warts and all (sticking front door, no freezer, traffic noise, few clothes pegs). It had a great dvd and book collection, (loved dipping into The Fast Show, Extras and Robert Lacey's Great English Tales). Beautiful morning sun on deck, well equiped kitchen, close to estuary and surf beach, dog friendly - thank you for making your charming home away from home available to other kiwis!

    Fantastic little bach with everything that we needed for 3 adults and one largish dog. Clean and tidy. Full kitchen. Great location and easy to find. Amazing property manager who went above and beyond to help us out. Massive board games and dvd collection. Fully recommend.
