About this property

Chris' Place - Sunny, pet friendly original kiwi bach on quiet street, a 5 minute walk to estuary

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac a 5 minute walk from the estuary is this sunny, family-friendly kiwi bach. While it has had some updates over the years it still retains its original bach charm and is basic but tidy.
This cosy accommodation has a lovely little deck with sunshade for outdoor living and a spacious garden front and back for summer games. When the weather isn't so great there is a TV with Freeview, a DVD player and discs and a sound system.
Enjoy the proximity to the estuary for a swim or walk with the dog. For a slightly longer stroll, 15-20 minutes takes you to the surf beach or Wood St shops and eateries.
Plenty of room to park a boat or jet ski with the boat ramp only a 5 minute drive away. NB: Tents may be allowed on request but not to increase the number of guests.
Please note this is a very basic bach but it is tidy and in a great location. This property does not have Wi-Fi
Chris' Place, a great base for your next beach holiday!
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.
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.

Rememberance
As it said it was a lovely old bungalow had a very warm feel it was nice to be able to take the two dogs. We went there to remember my darling husband who passed away years ago but will always be in our hearts and my two lovely daughters who will never forget their Dad. It was nice being close to the estuary and the lovely walks they have there too 😊

Handy location
Nice place to stay. Positioned to easily get to lagoon, Mangawhai heads beach, town centre and the road to get up to Langs, Waipu etc. If returned to Mangawhai would want to be located there again.

Great Location
Great location - easy walk to estuary and Mangawhai a great place with lots on. Water pressure in shower is only a trickle, no hair dryer as listed and no washing machine. whilst this isnt listed- maybe just make it clearer in ad that there is not one in the house. Overall a great bach, clean and tidy, great out door sitting, private, and very comfy beds

Genuine bach treasure
This bach had everything we required, except a washing machine & clothesline. Was so well stocked with kitchen equipment, as well as a huge supply of DVDs etc for entertainment. We were very happy with both the bach and the location. Thanks for great support service - ease of process and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.
