About this property

Spits End - Large, modern holiday home with stunning views a short walk to estuary surf beach

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.

All that you want for your beach holiday is here in this spacious modern holiday home. Some of the best views in Mangawhai greet you as you enter the upper level and there is a large deck for making the most of the vista. Located across the road from the estuary and only a minute or so walk to the surf beach you can leave the car behind.

The house is modern and funky but not pretentious and designed for 2 families to enjoy together or one family to really spread out! With 5 bedrooms, two bathroooms and an extra toilet it caters well to large groups.

You'll struggle to decide which of the beaches to walk to or whether or not you should just open up the massive ranch sliders and just laze around the house and enjoy the spectacular sea views on offer. In the winter there is a large gas fire place to keep things cozy.

LINEN: Please note that other than pillows, duvets and duvet covers, linen is not included in the tariffs but can be rented for $25 per person, further details are provided in the 'Rooms and beds' section of the listing. If you wish to add linen, please add a note to your booking with what beds you wish to use so they can be made up. We have linen as an optional extra to make a more affordable holiday for those who wish to bring their own.

BOOKING PAYMENT: Although Bookabach/VRBO take your credit card details, all booking payments are made to Bach Stay NZ Limited who manage this property for the owners. 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). Please note the amount stated as 'Deposit Paid at Property' on the Bookabach/VRBO quote is actually a refundable bond that will be collected as part of the accommodation payment, it is not collected at the property as the wording suggests.

To Be Revealed
Great property, easy to access, splendid views, and good size rooms. I can't complain, because we had one of the most amazing experiences a family could have in that home. We discovered a new family member there.

Pleasant Stay
Had a lovely weekend stay, everything provided for in clean condition. Only thing to mention, it was quite cold when we arrived and we could have done with some cosy blankets or extra bedding on the beds for the time of year. Property manager Tracy was very helpful. Nice and handy to the beach. Thank you!

Amazing weekend Away at Spits End.
The property is very well maintained and equipped. The views from the lounge/kitchen area are amazing. The location is also very handy with the house only being a 5-minute walk to the beach which has amazing walks, or the supermarket. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

Mangawhai treat
This is second time we’ve rented this property. It’s well situated, close to beaches and very comfortable. Indoor dining table could be bigger (for larger groups) however everything was well appointed and a delight.

Clean house with lovely views
My family really enjoyed the house, it was a short walk to the beach and the lounge room had a really nice view. The owner and bach manager welcomed us to the house and were super hospitable. We have nothing bad to say about this experience!

Fabulous house to share a winter escape. Spacious and very close to beach walks. Beautiful views for time spent indoors and large gas fire gives a cosy vibe.

Delightful
My family and I had a lovely weekend. The property had plenty of room for a wide range of age groups. Only a couple of recommendations; the seal on the oven is damaged, frayed and allows the heat to escape (it should be replaced) Bedrooms are great but it would really useful to have a couple of bedside lights in the second bedroom upstairs. However, highly recommended and we would definitely stay again. Thank you.

A few things....
The one thing we would all say, is that there really should be Sky provided / we didn’t realise one had to bring a card, so we didn’t and could get Freeview to work either - it was ok for us but we would have enjoyed the option to watch the rugby! Also, bedside lamps are needed in all the bedrooms and bulbs that work. Also, swimming towels really should be included - it is a beach bach after all!

We had a fantastic weekend, the house was amazing.
We stay in a different house in Mangawhai heads once or twice a year and this time We went for a little girls weekend, the house was amazing the views were amazing, 2x bathrooms with 7 women was a bonus, you could comfortably have 4x couples or 2x family's, we had bad weather but it did not matter there was enough room in the house and the views were still fantastic. Loved the We definitely look forward to staying here again.

We had a ladies weekend with 6 of us. The property was immaculate. The kitchen was really well stocked plenty of cutlery, crockery and most importantly glassware. The location was amazing with a very short walk to the beach. The markets in town were great on the Saturday morning.
