About this house rental
Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Perched on top of a hill and set on 10 Acres of bush you will find Hilltop Retreat!
This huge family home offers panoramic views over the Brynderwyn ranges, surrounding hills and countryside and distant views of Mangawhai and the Ocean - all only 5 minutes drive from Mangawhai Village AND Mangawhai Heads shops and our beautiful beach.
Here your group has total privacy and is ideal for 2 families or larger groups who want to get together for a peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle but still very close to the shops cafes and all else that Mangawhai has to offer.
Whether you are coming for a summer break (beach is down the road or try sunbathing in privacy on the upper deck!) or a winter break (relax by the fire and enjoy a lovely winters meal and a few wines at the massive dining table) Hilltop Retreat will suit your needs.
Hilltop Retreat is purposely priced to be affordable for smaller groups but is also great value for larger groups too.
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).

Summary of reviewsSpacious house perfect for large groups and families with plenty of room, great facilities, cozy fireplace, and beautiful views. Ideal for a peaceful getaway.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
Property was good for us, plenty of space and fun for kids
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
Large and comfortable. Very clean inside. The price is very reasonable so we didn't expect flash and pristine and it's not. But it was just right for our large extended family with little children. Very private and Charlene from the booking agency (Bach Stay) is friendly and accommodating. 4 rather than 5 stars because although there seemed to be nothing overflowing, there was a strong unpleasant sewerage smell out the back.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
House was perfect for our group of three families. The kids loved building a hut in the bush and kept them really busy. Will be back
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
It was nice and quiet. Lovely for a get away. Only problem is the beds.The beds is not comfy and the bath tub. The bath tub's tap is too far. You need to climb into the bath to open the tap. The jacuzzi bath is not working. The wi-fi. It is best to get unlimited wi-fi in order for the quests to stay longer. Other than that, the stay was nice. Very private which is awesome.
