Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms in the main house and an additional sleep-out, when you arrive and pop your bags down you'll be grateful for plenty of space to spread out and unwind. To top it all off, take a leisurely three-minute stroll to the estuary or a quick 13-minute walk into the hub of Mangawhai for the local shops, cafes, restaurants and of course, the all-important takeaways if the family craves some fish'n'chips.
