About this property

Fairport House - Sunny holiday home with large decks, lovely views and a short stroll to the estuary

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

Welcome to Fairport, a quintessential bach at Mangawhai Heads boasting stunning views, a quick 2-minute walk from the estuary, ideal for swimming and water sports. For beach lovers, the stunning Mangawhai Heads Beach is also a short 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk away, offering scenic walks, surfing opportunities, and refreshing ocean air.

Start your mornings with a freshly brewed cup of your favorite coffee, enjoying the sights and sounds of Mangawhai Heads. The front patio provides a perfect outdoor dining spot with expansive views across the harbour to the dunes. The rear patio is a sunny sheltered space on breezy days or if you simply want a quieter space to relax. Its perfect for cooler evenings with an outdoor fireplace to gather and enjoy the starry night sky. Inside, the bach features a spacious open-plan living area, ideal for bringing everyone together and creating cherished memories.

Whether you want to unwind with a good book, stream a movie, or stay connected with the WiFi, this space has you covered. For year-round stays, an indoor fireplace and heat pump in the living area allow you to set the perfect temperature and create a cosy atmosphere. There is a full-size kitchen plus a BBQ ready for you to whip up delicious feasts, with the convenience of a dishwasher making clean up a breeze.

The bach offers three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a master bedroom with a private ensuite, making it comfortable for families or groups. Fairport's location is ideal, with the local supermarket just an eight-minute drive away. If you're in the mood for something more, the town of Mangawhai is only 10 minutes away, offering a variety of cafes, restaurants, a chocolate boutique, and the famous Mangawhai tavern. Fairport promises balmy days filled with sun, sand, and surf!

NOTES:

1. There is a small sleepout shown in some photos of the exterior of the bach, please note this is not included in the rental.

2. Bedroom 3 now has a Single Bunk plus Single with trundler, so is different to the configuration shown in the photos of this room.

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.

What a relief when we arrived
When you book a bach you’re never 100% sure until you get there. What a relief when we arrived! Stunning spot, close to the water with beautiful views. The house is very comfortable with a great layout and so private. Will definitely stay there again.

Fabulous location with beautiful views.
Fabulous location with beautiful views. We took our own umbrella as couldn't see any in the photos and was needed for the front deck. Short walk to estuary - loved watching the tides and the boats. Thanks to owners for the bottle of wine. Well appointed house with well equipped kitchen. Sheltered rear deck space was great too. Driveway exiting needed planning for that tight corner. Loved our week there.
