ABOUT MANGAWHAI
Mangawhai is shrouded in natural beauty with a strong community spirit to match.
Located on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, about 80 minutes north of Auckland City, or 50 minutes south of Whangarei, Mangawhai means ‘stream of the stingray’ and the community and development has embraced this theme in local architecture and art.
Mangawhai has all the merits behind its famed label, ‘Magical Mangawhai.’ From its popular surf beach, deep-water estuary, dramatic sand dunes, crocodile rocks framing the harbour and ocean, and a world-class clifftop walk – the area is a wonderfully diverse outdoor playground.
Residents enjoy a relaxed coastal and country lifestyle, with daily choices of golfing, fishing, surfing, swimming, walking, dining at eateries - followed up with fresh local produce and wine as the sun sets.
Mangawhai is a gateway to the Bay of Islands and sits within a 15-minute drive to five breathtaking beaches. The surrounding area boasts two world-class golf courses, fresh-water lakes, boutique vineyards, a French chocolate factory, farmer’s markets, art trails and annual festivals.
This once clandestine surfer’s retreat has fast-become a coveted place to live, work and play.
