Mini Whananaki Beach House

MINI WHANANAKI is our beloved Beach House.
Built purely to accommodate friends, families, and you!

This is an architecturally designed holiday home with a warm, classic kiwi bach feel. Designed as two interconnected dwellings, with floor to ceiling glass to soak up the beautiful views of the water and incorporated with a stunning timber interior, large decks, walkways, and an outdoor Courtyard and BBQ area. Situated on a flat, half acre site, there's plenty of room to play on the lawn and best of all the boat ramp is only 100m away! An easy 200km (2hr 30min) drive from Auckland city.

Whananaki is a place of amazing scenery and endless activities, you'll find plenty of things to do and enjoy while staying in Whananaki North. Whether it be relaxing and swimming at any of the beaches, kayaking or paddle boarding on the calm waters of the estuary, fishing, boating, jumping off the wharf, sailing, discovering the Southern Hemispheres longest footbridge, diving or hiking the scenic tracks.

You'll find several beaches within a few minutes drive of the bach. You can choose to relax on the calm beaches under the shade of beautiful pohutikawa trees or head to any of the multiple surf beaches in the area. There's also a hidden lagoon with crystal-clear water but you'll need to ask the locals for directions:)

If you love to explore and adventure or just relax at the bach and watch the tide come and go... there's something for everyone!

Wow Whananaki
This accommodation was perfect for our four family holiday. There was plenty of space, plenty to do (walks, boating, snorkelling, SUPing, games...) and plenty of fun was had together. Thank you for sharing your space.

fabulous time at Mini Whananaki
We just simply fell in love with the place. Great facilities, fabulous location, beautiful house and great company! We enjoyed kayaking in the estuary, surfing at Moureeses, and going for long walk around Whananaki. This weekend felt very special in many ways, and we are glad we shared it with friends and family.

Lovely location for a Family holiday
Whananaki is a great location. Very quiet and peaceful for a relaxing holiday. The house sits right in front of the beautiful bay, its very tidal but excellent for swimming, canoeing, SUP, especially with kids. Walkable to a couple of other idyllic beaches, with bigger waves and swimming holes. The house is great for an extended family or families with 2 separate living areas, and shared deck and seating areas outside. Open plan living space and modern appliances, but the house has the patina of Bach life, so doesn’t feel too precious. The house is well stocked, but due to remote location it’s advisable to bring anything you need. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again. Thanks!

Amazing as per usual!
This is about the 7th or 8th time I have rented this property and we love it every single time. The layout is amazing, it accommodates large groups, the owners are fantastic and great to communicate with, and it's really warm, even when it's cooler outside. There's so much space, even if you have a large group. I would highly recommend.

We loved our time here!
Beautiful spot for a getaway with a big group, in this case multiples families with children. Great layout with lots of space so you’re not always on top of each other. We had many great meals and games nights around the large dining table. The spa was also enjoyed! Owners were easy to contact and resolved a few minor issues quickly.
