About this property

Serenity, views and an olive grove

The Loft is a charming studio apartment with a variety of views: olive groves, rolling hillside, the dappled Oruaiti River, majestic trees, Mangonui Harbour and the distant hills of the Karikari Peninsula. A heady mix which create an ideal place in which to unwind.

The studio has a kitchenette with a microwave, two ring hotplate and fridge. There is a comfy Queen size bed, dining table and seating area, plus a small table and chairs outside on the verandah.

The television has freeview channels and there is a DVD player, plus a small selection of DVDs and books.

You're welcome to use our wi-fi. Due to being rural the strength of signal can waver and atmospheric conditions will affect it. There is a Chromecast for the TV. Bear in mind that the speed and connection may not be what you're used to.

The Loft is upstairs, and its shower room, toilet and laundry are on the ground floor.

There are tea/coffee making facilities. Bed linen and towels are provided, but please bring your own beach towels.

Enjoy the peace of 7 acres in a quiet location, with lots of birdlife including quail, morepork, tuis, and fantails roaming the land.

You are welcome to wander through our 700 tree olive grove and small area of bush with native trees and plants.

Mangonui is a great location for your holiday, and gives easy access to the delights of Doubtless Bay. Cape Reinga to the north offers the dunes and epic seascapes. Kerikeri and the gorgeous Bay of Islands, with Russell, Opua and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds lie to the south. The fantastic views across Matauri Bay to the Cavalli Islands are off SH10 between Mangonui and Kerikeri, and are featured in Lonely Planet’s top 50 scenic drives of the world.

Marvellous beaches are waiting to be explored all along this coast or find a little cafe to soak up the atmosphere and relax. Mangonui’s cafes, heritage trail and bustling waterfront are nearby.

Relax and enjoy the peace, explore and have yourself an adventure, it’s up to you.

Feel the Serenity
A tranquil space surrounded by olive groves, trees, and birds with distant sounds of sheep and cows. The view of the Mangonui harbour in the distance give a sense of perspective. The space is well equipped with everything needed for a short stay. Very comfortable and enjoyable.
