About this property
A Family Friendly Bach in a Peaceful Location
Looking for an escape from the fast lane, but still close to the amenities of Mangawhai and Mangawhai Heads, then Cheviot Hideaway is the bach for you.
A quiet and comfortable 3 bedroom bach just a 2 minute walk from the beautiful estuary. The bach has an attractive, secluded garden which is fully fenced and safe for children; a lovely spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy!
The bach is well set up for indoor/outdoor living with a private BBQ area and a well equipped kitchen. For the cooler evenings, the wood burner is easy to light and warms the bach quickly.
Magical Mangawhai is all about the beach, the estuary, surfing, swimming, walking, kite surfing, fishing, paddleboarding and even skateboarding (!), so the list goes on.
For entertainment on quiet evenings or occasional wet days the bach has an extensive DVD collection, for all ages; games, books and even a CD collection to play on the CD player.
The sleeping configuration at our bach includes 2 double bedrooms and one twin bedroom.
Bed linen, duvets and pillows, together with bath towels, are included. Please bring your own beach towels.
As you drive or walk along Cheviot Street there are amazing views across to the estuary, sand dunes and out to sea, plus there are a number of footpaths down to the estuary close by.
The Wood Street shops and cafes, the Museum, the MAZ skateboard park and playground, and the golf course are all less than a 15 minute walk away. Plus, the beautiful Mangawhai Heads surf beach is only 4.5km away.
Mangawhai Heads is an all year round destination with a thriving local community, so for a laid back Mangawhai escape….Cheviot Hideaway awaits!

About the host
Hosted by Fiona Douglas
We just love Mangawhai and can't wait to come and live here permanently one day. For the time being please share our bach with us and enjoy everything Magical Mangawhai has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Cheviot Hideaway has character. You can't see the sea or the estuary from the bach, but you can sometimes hear it. In between the bach and the estuary is a quiet secluded sunny garden. There is so much to explore on foot, along the estuary, or the beach, or in the bush. Mangawhai Activity Zone (MAZ) is a 10 minute walk away with playgrounds for all ages, skateboard tracks, sports facilities (tennis, netball, basket ball, football, cricket), and a cafe.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful, full of character, and bird song!
