About This Stay

Discover the enchanting Mangamaunu House, where breathtaking ocean and mountain views await you year round. Nestled in a peaceful and secluded setting, our property offers some of the most spectacular vistas in Kaikoura. Wander through five acres of gardens, featuring fruit orchards and sculpted native bush.

Located on the Mangamaunu coastline, we’re just a two-minute stroll from the world-famous surf beach. Unwind and rejuvenate in one of New Zealand’s most stunning and unique locations.

Mangamaunu House is designed as three separate guest suites, with three individual entrances. This layout ensures privacy, making it ideal for larger groups of families but still allows for their own space.

The front house offers four bedrooms accommodating up to 8 guests. Each suite has a bathroom a kitchen/kitchenette, featuring a fridge, gas stove top, oven, toaster, and kettle. The three individual accommodations that make up the front house are: The Surfwatch House, Oceanview Suite and Hapuku Studio.

Please note – the Oceanview Suite and the second bedroom in Surfwatch House can be made up as a king-size bed, or two king singles. Please let us know before your stay which you would prefer, and we will make it up to suit your needs.

The property is located 10 minutes north of Kaikoura, a beautiful beach town known for whale watching, fishing, surfing, and cycling trails. Mangamaunu Beach is a 2-minute walk down the driveway, perfect for a morning stroll, swimming, or fishing off the beach. The beach is home to many native New Zealand birds, dolphins and the New Zealand fur seals.

Come and indulge yourself in the beautiful scenery that the Kaikoura coast has to offer, from the snowy Alps to the peaceful ocean.

You will have access to the whole front house, and the five-acre gardens and lawns.

There is an option of adding another queen-sized bed in the large open-plan room which would allow for up to 10 guests in total then, but please inform us once you make your booking and there will be an extra person(s) fee.

Should you have any concerns or enquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact our wonderful property manager Georgia.

Georgia

Hi, I’m Georgia and I’m the manager of Mangamaunu, tucked away down on the South Island of New Zealand. I first came to Kaikōura in 2017 chasing good surf and fell in love with the town. It’s such a special place and I felt immediately at home. I’m now lucky enough to be the manager at this incredible spot. Everyday is different up here and I’m constantly blown away with how beautiful it is, regardless of weather or season. I’m from the UK originally, but after meeting a kiwi guy here that same summer I arrived – incidentally in the surf right below the Mangamaunu – we now both live in this stunning part of the world. The owners of Mangamaunu are local South Island Kiwis. They love the peace and beauty of Mangamaunu and the surrounding countryside. They are keen surfers and skiers, and hold an annual Festival at the Mangamaunu Retreat in November.
