The property
Hilltop Vista offers a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Framed by forest and elevated above Mangawhai Heads, this two-bedroom retreat enjoys sweeping views from Whangārei Heads to Sail Rock, the Hen and Chicken Islands, and Mangawhai Harbour. Tucked within the exclusive Bream Tail Farm estate, you’ll feel completely secluded—yet you're just minutes from Mangawhai Village, beaches, eateries, and everyday conveniences. Beach lovers will appreciate the easy, direct access to pristine sandy shores, perfect for swimming, surfing, or relaxing walks along the coast. Designed for year-round comfort, Hilltop Vista features a fireplace and heat pump, while both bedrooms boast zip-linked king beds that can be configured as singles. Each bedroom enjoys stunning rural and coastal views and is served by a fully accessible bathroom—one with integrated laundry facilities. There is also an additional day bed in the living area—ideal for a child. Step onto the expansive deck to soak in the spa pool, fire up the Weber BBQ, and dine al fresco while taking in panoramic coastal scenery. After a day at the beach, relax in comfort as you enjoy modern amenities including high-end appliances, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and ample private parking. Take in the Mangawhai Cliff Walk—one of New Zealand’s most scenic coastal trails—with a walking distance entrance nearby, or explore nearby attractions including boutique shops, Saturday markets, watersports, and a world-class 18-hole golf course. As a guest at Hilltop Vista, you’ll also enjoy partial access to Bream Tail Farm’s shared amenities: a communal beachfront lodge with full kitchen, a floodlit tennis court, and entry to the Mangawhai Heads Surf Beach, making beach days easy and memorable. Perfect for couples or small families, Hilltop Vista is your base for rest, reconnection, and relaxed coastal living.
