About this property

An historic holiday house right on the beach


Welcome to a very special historic holiday home right on beautiful Mangakuri Beach.

Mangakuri is a holiday paradise for swimming, boogie boarding, fishing, surfcasting, boating, sunbathing, long beach walks and playing in the rock pools.

"Waione" has been in the same family for over a century. It was converted into a holiday house from the original farm woolshed in the 1930s.

There's a generous living room filled with historic photographs which has a big open fire; a roomy sun porch with great views out to sea and a large hall with a table tennis table. There's one bathroom with a bath and overhead shower and another hot shower outside.

The property is ideal for family holidays - it can accommodate up to 8 people.

The beach house has spacious decks both front and back.

There are plenty of board games, cards and books.

This is a much loved holiday home on a magical beach. Many people who book a holiday at "Waione" keep on coming back.

For weekend stays, the check out time is 4pm.

Note: Mangakuri is a quiet family beach and people who want to use noisy motor bikes and four wheelers to ride up and down the beach or blast around the sea on jet skis are not welcomed by us, other residents or other holidaymakers. Thank you.

Special conditions:
Pets may be allowed, by negotiation.
Smoking allowed outside only.
House check/administration/wood (Required, NZ$ 70 per stay);

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. Please bring all your own linen towels/sheets/pillow slips/ tea towels
(Duvet covers, duvets, pillows and blankets are supplied)

beautiful historic Cottage by the sea
We had an amazing time in this beautiful, historic cottage at Mangakuri Beach. There is a lot of space, inside and outside, and it is a great house for families with children. The property is fully fenced and as it is just next to the beach, there is plenty to do. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to be back!

Top spot
Nothing beats friends and family around the lounge fire in the evenings with super quiet strolls on the beach during the day

A walk through time
What a privilege it was to stay in this generational family home, a real slice of Hawkes Bay history. A home full of character and walls that could tell many stories. Such a neat place, kids loved the beach access and listening to the waves at night was lovely.
