About this property

Moir Point Magic - 3 bedroom cottage in secluded bush setting with stunning estuary ocean views

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Set at the end of a long drive amongst mature bush is this secluded slice of Magical Mangawhai paradise. The three bedroom cottage has been lovingly refurbished to capture the essence of beach holidays and the 180 degree estuary and ocean views are quite simply stunning. With decks on both sides of the house and large bi-folds there is great indoor/outdoor flow and plenty of options whatever the weather. There is also direct access to the estuary down a formed bush track with 150 steps to ensure you get your daily dose of exercise.
With two double kayaks available on request (don't worry they are stored at the bottom of the track!), explore the estuary and the huge sand dune a couple of hours either side of the high tide. Or alternatively laze on the deck with a good book and/or a cold drink. Watch the colours change on the estuary and dunes as the tides ebb and flow and the sun rises and sets over this picture postcard view.
For entertainment this property also now has a 55 inch SMART TV and soundbar.
The property is also in a great location for everything Mangawhai Heads has to offer, within walking distance to the golf course, Mangawhai Activity Zone, shops and cafes and only a short drive to the surf beach.
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms it is suitable for a small family and friends/grandparents or a couple of mature couples. This is truly a great place to relax and unwind even when Mangawhai is at its busiest.
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.

Beautiful location
Really lovely house with most amazing view. Better than the photos on line. Well equipped holiday home. Plenty of space for a small family. Nice and quiet down the end of a long drive nestled in bush. Walk up and down steps to the estuary below is a great work out. Highly recommend this house.

A wonderful place to relax.
This Bach was absolutely the best home during our 10 day visit to New Zealand. We walked in and were overwhelmed by the stunning views of the estuary and the ocean. We could could not have found a better place to unwind and relax, especially watching the sunrise every morning. The location was ideal. The Bach felt very private yet a short drive to restaurants and shops. Overall it it felt like a treasured home and we were lucky enough to be allowed to spend a few nights. Also a shout out to the host. He was attentive and quickly solved any issue with a warm friendly manner.

Amazing Views - can look for days
Photos do not do justice to the views or the house! The views are spectacular, the house is in such a quiet spot that you hear nothing but the birds singing - while being minutes away from an excellent playground and Supermarket. The house has everything, is very clean and tidy, and is much more stylish/tasteful on the inside than the photos show. The short walk to the water and the use of the kayaks is a fantastic bonus. We can not wait for an opportunity to stay here again.

Beautiful Holiday House
We really enjoyed our stay ~ and would love to go back! The house has a lovely holiday beach vibe and a good set up. The views are absolutely amazing. The deck is fenced which meant we could enjoy the views while our little one wondered about safely. Such a lovely beautiful piece of paradise. We’re so glad we stayed.
