About this house rental


Welcome to a very special historic holiday home right on beautiful Mangakuri Beach.

Mangakuri is a holiday paradise for swimming, boogie boarding, fishing, surfcasting, boating, sunbathing, long beach walks and playing in the rock pools.

"Waione" has been in the same family for over a century. It was converted into a holiday house from the original farm woolshed in the 1930s.

There's a generous living room filled with historic photographs which has a big open fire; a roomy sun porch with great views out to sea and a large hall with a table tennis table. There's one bathroom with a bath and overhead shower and another hot shower outside.

The property is ideal for family holidays - it can accommodate up to 8 people.

The beach house has spacious decks both front and back.

There are plenty of board games, cards and books.

This is a much loved holiday home on a magical beach. Many people who book a holiday at "Waione" keep on coming back.

For weekend stays, the check out time is 4pm.

Note: Mangakuri is a quiet family beach and people who want to use noisy motor bikes and four wheelers to ride up and down the beach or blast around the sea on jet skis are not welcomed by us, other residents or other holidaymakers. Thank you.
