Surfwatch House is one of three guest suites available on the property. The space has been architecturally designed, with gorgeous interiors and mid-century furniture. The newly renovated accommodation will be the perfect destination for your upcoming holiday.

Mangamaunu Beach is a 2-minute walk down the driveway, perfect for a morning stroll, swimming, or fishing off the beach. The beach is home to many native New Zealand birds and also the New Zealand fur seals.
