Our beautiful new, contemporary 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom self contained accommodation. Set in a semi-rural location with plenty of parking for the boat or trailer. Only mins (drive) to the local village, MAZ skate park, Mangawhai Heads and estuary for all your shopping, restaurants, cafe's, fishing and swimming! Not forgetting bush walks and surf beach mins up the road! Te Arai Links Golf courses and Te Arai point for great surfing and peaceful beaches. We have an ooni pizza oven and webber bbq available on request. We can help you with laundry if required for a small fee. Although we are a close drive to all of Mangawhai's many attractions we are in a very quiet location on about one acre, that our guest love. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, stovetop, electric kettle](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/57000000/56500000/56495900/56495836/257d10fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nature's lap in Te Arai Te Arai WELLSFORD - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill - Microwave 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-11&endDate=2026-01-12&selected=56495836&PinnedHotelID=56495836&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69820000/69813700/69813675/19e12560.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beks Retreat,Estuary Edge,Mangawhai Heads Mangawhai Heads - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 230 reviews CA $239 CA $310 total includes taxes & fees Jan 20 - Jan 21, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-20&endDate=2026-01-21&selected=69813675&PinnedHotelID=69813675&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103750000/103742900/103742815/5cc4fa0a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny Oasis in the heads Mangawhai Heads - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews CA $104 CA $191 total includes taxes & fees Jan 5 - Jan 6, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=103742815&PinnedHotelID=103742815&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, travel crib, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69770000/69767000/69766937/a0461434.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The cabins 2 with 50 acres of private bush Te Arai - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space - Parking available 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-11&endDate=2026-01-12&selected=69766937&PinnedHotelID=69766937&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66150000/66141300/66141214/fc08597a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walking distance to cafes and restaurants Mangawhai - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available - Laundry 9.8 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-11&endDate=2026-01-12&selected=66141214&PinnedHotelID=66141214&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![The Beachcomber B&B Room with Sea View](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16880000/16870400/16870322/bc60487a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mangawhai Lodge Mangawhai Heads - Parking included - Free WiFi - Breakfast available - Housekeeping 9.8 Exceptional 91 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-11&endDate=2026-01-12&selected=16870322&PinnedHotelID=16870322&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105310000/105308600/105308562/0e4fa3dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Off Grid Big Sky Views Mangawhai !
