About this property

Coastal Charmer - Modern holiday home with multiple covered outdoor entertaining spaces and spa

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

Want to stay in one of the eight finalists in the 2021 Bookabach 'Bach of the Year'?

Coastal Charmer is a modern holiday home with multiple living/entertaining areas both inside and out. The modern and well-equipped kitchen and living flows out onto a large covered deck and there is an additional 'fire room' with Large screen TV which provides a fantastic and unique entertaining space. The roller blinds on the covered deck provide an al fresco dining space whatever the weather.

The private flat back yard is a great space for the kids to run around and there is a playhouse for them to explore. The property is north facing so is very sunny but there are also plenty of spots to relax in the shade should you wish. In the evening or on a cooler day chill out in the spa pool.

The property is very centrally located to make the most of everything that Mangawhai has to offer. It is a short walk to the Wood St shops and eateries and the Estuary and Golf Course are a 5-10 minute walk away. The surf beach, boat ramp, Mangawhai Activity Zone and Mangawhai Village are all within a 10 minute drive.

Plenty of parking space for cars and a boat. Great for 1-2 families or small groups of mature couples.

With heat pumps in the living area and sleepout, the spa pool and fire room this is great for a winter stay too!

You're perfect summer or winter escape is waiting for you here - come and experience Coastal Charmer.

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.

Mangawhai is the perfect summer holiday destination or coastal retreat. With its beautiful swimming and surf beaches and abundant marine life, Mangawhai is a popular spot for sailing, fishing, surfing, diving and summer family fun. The clear waters of the estuary provide safe family swimming, and the secluded white sand beaches of Te Ari and Pakari are a short drive away.

Enjoy the vibrant art and cafe scene, local farmers market and the famous Bennetts Chocolate Shop. Soak up the natural beauty of this slice of coastal paradise, beachcombing, bush walking or just relaxing in a comfy chair with a glass of something cool.

Luxury weekend away
The house is clean and comfortable, and spacious for small & big groups. There is enough room for kids to run around in the backyard, with supervision as the property isn't fully fenced. If 2 families decide to use the property, there is enough room to spread out as there is an outside area that you can use like a second lounge. Beds & pillows are comfortable too, and the spa is a welcomed bonus if you decide to do a winter trip here.

Wet weather haven
Nicely appointed,great kitchen and furniture and comfortable. Great for wet weather entertainment with coverd decks and seperate man cave with sky TV and fireplace was great for evenings ..truly a Gold medal effort there A few small disappointing things with bathroom to main house..far to small and sink squeezed in making it uncomfortable for bigger people to get through..more thought required to correct the layout. Spa pool was fantastic,however ,no platform steps and screen was inadequate,privacy was compromised as neighbour's across the road and people walking on footpath were easily in view whilst in pool,once again more thought in planning was required,,lastly location description was inaccurate as this was beside a very busy road,,much care and patience is required to drive out. Early morning heavy trucks and continues traffic thru out the day on this main road was irritating. Overall a nice place for a short stay perhaps, however we don't feel we got value for the price we paid for the 11 nights we stayed The host manager was very responsive and helpful on short notice he popped over to provide us with more firewood and allowed us to have a late checkout due to rain delaying our clean up and departure Overall above average B+ to A- Kiaora and thankou

Comfortable and very clean, especially the spa pool and barbecue! Everything we needed was there and extras such as Netflix! Great having light switches labeled and photos of contents of drawers in the kitchen. Can walk to the estuary, but need to drive to the beach. Excellent communication too… thank you!
