Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period. This modern, sunny, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom holiday home is a private oasis with panoramic views over Mangawhai and out to the Pacific Ocean. Conveniently located between the popular surf beaches of Mangawhai Heads and Te Arai, this holiday home waits to welcome you with open arms, it really is 'A Rural Retreat'. Relax and unwind in style, with spacious open-plan living that flows out onto extensive decks, so you can capture the stunning views whether inside or out (there are views from every bedroom). Open the sliding doors and let the summer breeze in, get the BBQ fired up, and make the most of the stunning setting with plenty of outdoor seating for alfresco dining. For entertainment there is a Smart TV (just bring your own App logins), a selection of books, board games and croquet available. Otherwise just relax on the deck and enjoy the stunning sunrises and sunsets. When the weather is cooler, the fireplace plus heat transfer system keeps everything cosy and you can still enjoy the stunning views. Outside there is a cold shower to rinse of after the beach and plenty of private boat and car parking. Enjoy the best of both worlds here, a peaceful oasis but still so close to the action, with Mangawhai Village just 8 minutes away, Mangawhai Heads 15 minutes and Te Arai Links Golf Course 20 minutes. This is the perfect place to unwind with friends and family, so make 'A Rural Retreat' your next holiday destination..
