The property

Escape to the tranquillity of Mangawhai Heads at The Estuary House, a beautifully designed retreat offering serene estuary glimpses, exceptional privacy, and a deep connection to the surrounding natural landscape. Thoughtfully considered in both form and finish, the home’s materials and colour palette reflect its environment. Timber features prominently inside and out, paired with soft natural linen and wool textures, while aged brass taps and benchtops add warmth and character. The result is a calming, welcoming interior that encourages you to slow down the moment you arrive. The light-filled open-plan living space feels inviting year-round. A built-in window seat creates a peaceful nook for reading or watching the light move across the estuary. The generous kitchen features high-quality appliances and flows to a six-seater dining table, while the cosy lounge with a wood-burning fire is perfect for cooler evenings. Sliding doors from multiple rooms open onto the expansive deck, creating an effortless connection outdoors for harbourside meals, backyard games, or long, unhurried afternoons. As evening falls, the deck becomes a front-row seat to spectacular estuary sunsets — equally enjoyed outdoors or from the warmth of inside. The Estuary House offers three well-appointed bedrooms and beautifully finished bathrooms. The master bedroom enjoys tranquil estuary views and direct access to the deck, while the ensuite is a true highlight, with a deep bath perfectly positioned to soak in both the scenery and the glowing sunsets beyond. For those keen to explore the water, a paddleboard and a dinghy with oars are available for guest use, making it easy to head straight from the beach onto the calm estuary waters. Homely yet highly functional, the home is well equipped for both short stays and longer escapes, with Smart TV, WiFi, washing machine, and everyday essentials provided. Pets are welcome, and a generous driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, along with space for a boat up to six metres. Just minutes from Mangawhai Heads beaches and only 1km from the village, The Estuary House provides a peaceful, nature-led base for your next Mangawhai getaway.
