About this property

Seaviews, 3 minute stroll to beach

We offer a sun-drenched holiday home with beach access only metres from the front door, and native bush right behind. Our place is located in a cul-de-sac of exclusive homes and offers a peaceful family retreat in either summer or winter. It's possibly the closest holiday rental to the beach.

The interior combines open plan living with easy access to wrap-around decks where you can enjoy the sea views in front and native bush behind the property.

Downstairs are two double bedrooms with comfortable queen size and double beds and a generous shared bathroom/laundry and separate toilet.
Upstairs is another bathroom and a giant kids' wing featuring 2 x near new king single beds and a wide-screen TV (plus board games and lego.)

The property includes off-street parking for 2 cars. Plus access to the private members-only Langs Cove tennis courts (2), subject to court side booking. (You can use our racquets but BYO tennis balls.)

Surrounding Mangawhai and Waipu Cove/township offer lots of activities - coastal walks, fishing, golf, wine tasting, farmers and craft markets, and cafes including the acclaimed Bennett's chocolate factory.

Come and see for yourself why this piece of paradise hooked us! If you wish to request a booking, please tell us a little about yourselves and who will be staying. Thank you.

Special conditions:
- Your own bed linen (pillowslips/sheets) and towels is required as there is no local linen service available. We've tried to find one!
- Minimum bookings apply: Jan - 5 nights, all other months 3-night minimum.
- No parties, smoking or pets allowed on the property.
- No tents allowed on the site. We're respectful of our permanent neighbours so strictly no parties or loud music outdoors after 10pm.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100.00 per stay)

DISCLOSURE: Following a spate of local break-ins and items stolen from our property, we installed EXTERNAL CCTV cameras to monitor the access points to the house from the street and adjoining land to satisfy insurer concerns. Please be assured there are absolutely no cameras inside the house to respect guest privacy. We reserve the right to keep these external cameras operational 24/7.

Great Bach

A great family Bach in an excellent location. We took our 1 year old there and it was very easy to make the family area safe for him. The house has a nice feel to it and we would stay again. The air conditioner was a bonus too!

Peaceful weekend getaway

Five of us stayed at the Langs beach bach for the long weekend and couldn’t fault its cleanliness, location and quiet neighbourhood. Liz was very helpful with ensuring check-in and access was seamless. Great BBQ and very short walk to the beach. Would love to stay again.

Great for 2 small families or multi generation family

We had a lovely stay, in line with other reviews. Found it to be a great set up - the queen size bed (perfect for the grandparents) and double (for us) were on the same level as bathroom/ kitchen / lounge etc. We only had our 1 toddler with us but upstairs is well set up for multiple kids. I would note for mums there’s a frosted window between the lounge and the loft so if you need the room dark bring a blackout curtain ;) would def stay again, thanks Liz!

Amazing and relaxing

We had a wonderful stay, property just perfect for some well needed relaxation near the beach. Loved the bird song and indoor outdoor flow and enough room for two families to come together or spend some separate time out when needed. My 9 year old didn’t want to leave!

Awesome trip to Langs beach

Great bach - excellent place to stay with family and just a short walk to beach. Bach accommodates well a large family, and the kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the bach was very warm for a mid winter trip (with heating provided by heat pumps). The hosts have also taken the time to write an excellent set of notes on the amenties and also local places to visit ie walks, cafes and local museums etc They are a must read at the start of your stay so you get the most out if your trip. The bach also has has a beautifullylandscaped and well maintained garden that back onto native Bush. We will be back for sure.

Langs Haven Stay

We had a lovely weekend up at Langs Haven and found the house a comfortable place to spend a winter weekend. There were extra duvets in the closets for the bedrooms and the heater in the living room made the space toasty. The loft space upstairs worked really well for the 4 pre-teen cousins and the landscaping was beautiful. The place was an easy stroll to the boogie boarding waves near the tractor entrance to the beach and the outdoor shower made post-beach clean up easy. The owners were also very responsive and accommodating. It would be a wonderful summer house with the various outdoor spaces on the wrap-around deck.

Lang’s lazy dayz

Wonderful holiday pad. Has all you could ask. Lovely quiet spot. Easy access to calm beach and beautiful Seaview from the house and deck. Just wished we’d bought more meals along so we didn’t have to drive for meals and just relax. Thanks to the owners for a lovely stay. Good communications.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Lyons

We're an Auckland-based, beach-loving family of four. Andrew's a keen gardener and fisherman, Liz prefers reading and relaxing. Our dream was to one day own a beach home at Langs - one of the best beaches in NZ.

Why they chose this property

You possibly won't find another holiday rental closer to beautiful Langs Cove than our place. Which is why we bought the property and undertook a modest refurbishment - new decking, external paint, new beds and gardens.
