About this house rental
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Classic kiwi bach with retro charm!
When this house was built in the 70s it was the only bach in the area. The kids used to build huts in the bush, explored nearby sheep trails and ponds. Mangawhai has changed since then and the kids have grown up (and now they own the bach!) but the bach has had a makeover and extension whilst retaining its retro charm and awaits your visit
Built on a large section with lots of mature trees, the house is ideal for a summer holiday as the beach is only a short stroll down the road and the shops and cafes at Wood St are also a short walk.
Please note this property does not have Wi-Fi
LINEN OPTIONS: To keep your holiday more affordable, for this property we offer linen as an optional extra for guests who prefer to bring their own. If you choose to bring your own linen, you will need to supply top and bottom sheets, pillowcases, towels and bath mats. Pillows, Duvets and Duvet covers will be provided.
Alternatively, a rental linen package is available for $25 per person. To request this service, please add a note to your booking specifying the number of people requiring linen and which beds you would like prepared.
BOOKING PAYMENT: Although your credit card details are taken during the booking process, we won't automatically charge your credit card. 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).

Property was cool. I was a wee bit
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2023
We did not expect the Ritz but were still a bit disappointed. Curtains are tatty and need replacing. Front door window as well as the one above the bed have blankets hanging over them held up by bulldog clips! Garden was overgrown and lawns needed mowing. The road is very busy and noisy. House was clean and tidy.
