Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Mangawhai Heads

Just minutes from the beach this property was perfect for our family over Christmas. Though are children are substantially taller these days they still made use of the board games and connect four. Loved the way the house opened up fully to create great access and air. Very well equipped kitchen and clean linen. Highly recommend.

On point. The house was stocked with everything you need for a really enjoyable time. Location second to none. Made for a very relaxing holiday to recharge for the time ahead. Thank you for opening your home up to us. We would love to come back. Doggies say thank you too 🤗

Great stay. Had all we needed. Lots of extra towels etc. Loved being so close to the sea, had some lovely swims. Very close to Ruakaka shops, Cafe, chemist etc.. All in all good value for money. Thanks Toia

Sure nice home in a nice location out of town , the driveway is extremely step but we mastered it

A very special place to stay, the architecture is incredible. A quiet, peaceful place to stay with walkway access to a small private beach. We will be back, thank you to the owners for sharing their home with others to enjoy. Felt like home. We could have stayed all year!

Amazing stay!!! Our group used Jenny's place as a 3-night retreat for our staff team and we couldn't have enjoyed it more! All of our staff want to return next year. The house was spotless, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the homestead had all the little extras that make a stay easier. The grounds were amazing! A wonderful place to unplug and spend time together as a team.

The house is just a stone’s throw away from the beach, which made it super convenient for daily trips. It was well presented, with a high standard of cleanliness throughout. You can tell the house is well-lived in, as it has every utensil and necessity you could possibly need – making it feel like home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped spot by the beach for a family. Will definitely stay again!

Monica is a warm and gracious host and we loved having the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful home. It is an impressive Americal style country house, showcasing fascinating treasures. The living area is warm and welcoming, with large windows providing beautiful country panoramas. All rooms have interesting nooks to relax in and the attractive, fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms are wonderfully functional.

I cannot say enough about how beautiful Gill's home is. The surroundings are so beautiful, short drive into town where you can find everything your looking for. Gill is such a wonderful and kind host, if you have a chance to visit her home, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for making my son's wedding so special, so lucky to have met such a amazing woman.

The place is amazing, very large living area with many very clean and decently spaced rooms. I wasn’t aware of the 5-10 minute gravel road the house is on. Daniel was amazing at communicating when I need to get in touch with him however the packing up procedure could have been outlined better, but other than that the four informative emails sent outlined everything needed for our stay. The view is just as amazing in person as the photos both sunrise and sunset, especially lounging in the spa.

We had a 6 day family Christmas Holiday here and it couldn't have been nicer. Daniel and Angela met us when we arrived and explained the various systems such as pool, TV, internet, etc. They were available nearby in case we needed them (which turned out we did not), but did not intrude in our privacy. The actual facilities were even nicer than the photos and descriptions provided in the AirBnB listing. One of the special things about this home displayed was the care and art that the hosts have put into it. Everything is amazing. It is ultra-private and it seems as if you are alone in the forest overlooking a beautiful valley. The view from the upstairs master suite is awesome. Our two grandkids spent hours each day in this nice, clean, warm pool. The pool - patio area was well done and relaxing for lounging between swims. . I would HIGHLY recommend this property and hosts.

We had such a wonderful time at this gorgeous place, perfect for a group of friends with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and spaces to relax in. The location is divine and you really feel like you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you for having us.

Five adults and six children had a wonderful weekend in Mangawhai, using Carolynn's house as our base. There was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner, both inside and out. The kitchen was big enough for several cooks to work in at once and the dining table was big enough for us to all sit around so mealtimes were a treat, not a chore. Amazing view to the east, including sunrise across water and moonscape sand dunes. The spa at the end of the day was a special treat for our family, as was the large TV screen in the lounge. We missed a few books and board games but everything else was in good supply. Thank you for a special long weekend with my family Carolynn.

Nice getaway area, surrounded by many beaches within 30 minutes drive. The views are amazing but it comes at a cost (as expected) where you'd have to drive along a windy gravel road up a mountain

A beautiful home that was well equipped for a busy Christmas Day with family. The outlook was simply breathtaking. We enjoyed the alfresco areas, playing pétanque and finding the tree swing. A simply beautiful retreat to relax and unwind.

Incredible location and home for a large group looking to spend time together. We were four adult couples and two toddlers. The space was perfect, having a bunk room and separate lounge for the little ones with enough bathrooms and privacy in different zones around the house. Direct beach access, quick walk to the local shop, cafe, playground and surfclub. Can't wait to come back!
