Mangawhai, Mangawhai Beach & Mangawhai Heads

you get two for the price of one!
homemhb (32).jpg

Mangawhai is a place of history and heart, from the old waterfront pub and colonial buildings, to the proliferation of much-loved holiday homes and baches. In two distinct areas, Mangawhai Village is a thriving collection of shops, galleries and cafes, while Mangawhai Heads has the tranquil lagoon-style harbour, its dramatic sand dunes, exhilarating surf beach and established shopping precinct in Wood Street.

Five beaches within a 15 minute drive you are spoiled for choice, whether it is swimming, sailing, fishing, surfing or just lazing on the golden expanses of sand.
