Modern Family Retreat

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

This spacious, north-facing home offers stunning views of the Brynderwyns and is perfectly designed for families with modern furnishings and home comforts. The large open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge flow effortlessly onto a sun-drenched front deck, where you can relax with a glass of wine and soak in the beautiful sunsets.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite features a king bed, a walkthrough wardrobe, and a private ensuite, the second bedroom offers a queen bed, while the third is perfect for kids, with a single over double bunk and pull-out single bed. Two of the bedrooms also open onto the deck, extending the indoor-outdoor flow. Downstairs is a separate self-contained area with a bedroom with Queen bed, second living, kitchenette and bathroom. With plenty of space for everyone it is great for 1-2 families or a family with grandparents.

The fully fenced and partially covered rear courtyard provides a peaceful retreat and you can relax knowing that the little ones can't wander. Stairs lead to a convenient outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. A separate laundry with direct outdoor access to the clothesline adds extra convenience.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, there’s ample parking for a boat or caravan up to 7 metres. Located just a short drive to Mangawhai Heads’ surf beach, estuary, boat ramp, shops, cafés, golf course, and supermarket, this modern family home offers everything you need for a relaxed beach getaway.

For Entertainment there is Wifi and a Smart TV with access to apps such as Disney, Prime, Netflix and Neon (just BYO login) and there is a DVD/Blu Ray player with a good selection of discs.

Please note there is no internal access to the downstairs area. The decking has now been completed outside the downstairs extension.
