The house is set back from the road on six acres of olive grove on Mangawhai estuary. An older style, it is a comfortable home for me and two cats who possibly know how lucky they are!
Everything you need is handy. The village, with shops, cafes and a popular weekly market is five minutes stroll away; the wider Mangawhai area is known for its great surf beach, golf course, walking tracks, fishing and other recreational options. Auckland is just ninety minutes south, Whangarei fifty minutes north.
