About this property

Kneedeep - Beautifully appointed, modern, sunny home with stunning estuary views

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Kneedeep is a beautifully appointed, sunny, modern holiday home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Heads. Recently completed, this holiday home has been designed to make the most of the stunning estuary views which can be seen from the open-plan living/dining/kitchen, master bedroom and of course the covered deck.
With decks on both sides of the house you can catch the sun and avoid the wind as you please. There is a track which takes you down from the house to the edge of the estuary and kayaks are available for use while the tide permits (approximately 2 hours either side of high tide).
For winter stays, the gas fire place and double-glazing ensure you can stay cosy and warm while watching the tide ebb and flow and experiencing the beautiful sunsets. There is a firepit that can be used when fire bans are not in place but you will need to supply your own wood (can usually be purchased from the local Four Square)
Located in Taimoana Close, a quiet cul de sac,set back from the hustle bustle of Mangawhai Heads, it is only a 15 minute walk to the golf course and Mangawhai Activity Zone for the kids. If you want a longer stroll the Wood St Shops are 25 minutes away or the Village and markets are a 40 minute walk and everything is within about a 5 minute drive, including the surf beach.
Suitable for 1-2 families or small groups of mature couples you're perfect summer or winter escape is waiting for you here - come and experience Kneedeep.
Notes:

The bedroom which has a bunk set in the pictures has now been disassembled so that it is two singles.
The coffee machine takes Dolce Gusto pods not standard Nespresso pods


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.

Wonderful Place
Recently stayed at this property. It's amazing, plenty of room for a large family. Quality of facilities are amazing, so are the views. Location is good, short walk to the activity zone where children have lots to do then a short walk from there to Wood St, where you can access shops. Highly recommend.

Brilliant
Ever changing views from this beautiful property, and within walking distance or a few minutes drive to walking tracks, etc. The museum is walking distance & definitely worth a visit. Local food & markets were awesome. Highly recommend Knee-Deep. We were 2 couples on a getaway to celebrate our collective birthdays & this was the perfect accommodation

Relaxing weekend away
Lovely spot overlooking the peaceful estuary, very clean house and easy to navigate. We had a girls weekend getaway and did lots of cooking and eating so it was perfect for that. It's probably more of a summer house as the gas fire wasn't working and there are no heat pumps, however the house was nicely insulated so the heaters were fine. Would recommend to others.

Lovely house with great views
We had a relaxing weekend, cozying up by the fireplace and the outdoor firepit. The house was well equipped and very clean, large enough for kids to play hide and seek for hours. Morning paddle on the estuary was a cherry on top.

Great house with amazing view
Really fantastic stay at this property. It's really modern and beautifully presented. The view is exceptional, you could sit all day and look out at it. The house is large and easily fit our party of three couples. There is lots of games and books and the kayaks were fun to use out on the estuary. Would highly recommend.

This is a comfortable modern home away from home, with everything you need plus a great lagoon outlook and a deck to enjoy it from. There's plenty of room and the sunny corners capture morning and afternoon rays when you need them. Top spot!

Property was perfect for our group & stay. Big enough to give everyone some space, and great view
Property was great set up for our group of 4 adults & 4 children. Estuary was a real hit being close by but also ability to get to either town village was also a bonus. Deck was great for night time relaxing.

Paradise on the Estuary
This was a Beautiful, super clean and well appointed house with amazing views over the estuary. The kids loved jumping off the little jetty and using the kayaks. The location is perfect with shops, skate park and beach all a short drive away. We loved our stay and wish we didn't have to leave!

Wonderful place to stay
Very clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Lovely bathrooms. Loved the dinning table as was big enough for us all to eat dinner around. Great Kitchen for cooking in. This was a weekend away for my sisters and our partners to enjoy each others company at the same time having plenty of space so we were not under each others feet. Would book this place again.
