About this property

Breakwater Escape - Sunny, pod-style bach with large flat section in quiet cul-de-sac

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

This sunny, modern, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom pod-style bach is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac close to everything Mangawhai has to offer. With 2 pods joined by a fully enclosed central deck, this is a great little summer home. When the weather is fine, the front bi-folds can be completely opened up, or when it is less favourable, can be completely closed in to keep things cosy. With a large, flat grassed area, it is great for games and tents are permitted for children.

This is a perfect base for your family holiday in Mangawhai Heads with only a 5 minute drive to the estuary, surf beach, shops and restaurants. Alternately take the bush track that runs along the back of the subdivision and have a picturesque walk into the centre of Mangawhai Heads.

Perfect for 1-2 families, come see for yourself!

Notes:

1. The owner does allow tents for children on the lawn to take the occupancy up to 8.

2. This property does not have a TV but does has wifi, so you can bring your own devices or just use it as an opportunity to get away and enjoy the simple things in life.

3. There are 2 kayaks with lifejackets that can be used by guests but you will need your own means to get them to the water.

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 Arai and Pakiri 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.

It was perfect for our little family.
We had a wonderful time. It was a good base for exploring waipu. It is definitely a summer house though.

Lovely stay
Enjoyed our stay with everything needed. The living area inbeween the 2 rooms can have a bit of a draft coming through the blinds. Will stay there again.

Summer Sun and Relax!
Very clean and functional with quirky indoor deck for lounge. Lounge great for day although we felt a bit exposed at night without any curtains in that area. Loved the bifolds. (Would have been great to have the rear strip of lights in lounge area able to be turned off/on in kitchen as well as the main bedroom.) Location is a ood base for day trips and access to Mangawhai highlights - easy walk to Wood St shops and eateries. We made daily use of the track around the golf course. Easy contour and peaceful. Great way to start the day! Great array of books & games. Sketch pads and pencils provided some down time for adult children :) Unfortunately we didn't make use of the kayaks. Next time! Enjoyed our week.
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022
