Top-rated pet-friendly home rentals in Mangawhai Heads
Guests agree: these pet-friendly homes are highly rated for location, cleanliness and more.

Sea and rural surroundings, convenient position.
The Chalet will be clean, spacious and convenient to everything available in this beautiful environment. You will have a generous view of our estuary and sandhills to the front. Then as the property backs on to a farm there is a very strong rural feel, with wide views of Bream Tail Farm and the Brynderwyn hills. Trek the Goldschmidt track to the beach from the top end of Cullen St or 25 minutes walk by road. The estuary walk is about 10 minutes via the shortcut track halfway down the road.
