Water Light - Mangonui Harbour views

The combination of elevation and proximity to the harbour offer an unusual and pronounced slowly evolving view through the picture windows at Water Light. Look up from your book and the once green water is beige or silver or blue. Cloud cover, arc of the sun, ebb and flow of the tide. A calming, rhythmic slow-motion captivating scene.

Mangonui is one of New Zealand's earliest European settlements. Many of the buildings from that era remain. There’s a Heritage Walking Trail mud-map available at the Information Centre and descriptive plaques on each building. Two of them are across the road. It’s one of the few remaining minor ports that operates on a commercial basis, fishing boats unload their catches onto the wharf.

Water Light has undergone extensive renovations inside and out, completed in 2020. King-size double bed in the surround view master bedroom. Queen-size double in the other. Open plan living, new kitchen and bathroom. Fine harbour views from the shade sail protected deck, carport and extensively landscaped and maintained gardens. Set well back from the quiet one-way road.

Water Light is right on the perimeter of Old Mangonui and an easy 2 minute walk to the restaurants, supermarket, shops and historic pub. An ideal central base from which to explore all the Far North has to offer; Down to the Bay of Islands, up to Cape Reinga or over to the Hokianga Harbour.

Note: There is a tenant living in the 1 bedroom flat beneath Water Light. Each space has a separate entrance. Water Light has a strict 'No Pet' policy.

Nice place to stay
We had a few things that we had problems with, which we notified David about. It would be nice to have a few basic like, tea and coffee, soap, even hair dryer and an iron would be good . When you’re travelling around these littles extra are always helpful to have when you arrive at a place.

Great time in Mangonui
The property is a great little spot. The space was very clean and tidy with a nice clean layout. I would suggest a couple of updated photos of appliances as the TV and coffee machine were slightly different to those in photos. That is really if I have to to mention anything negative. The communication with David the property manager was the best I have ever had with any managers before. He was prompt and very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks again.

Cosy & clean
The bach is nice and clean and has a great view to the beach. It is only minutes away from the town centre. The communication with the property manager was easy. I highly recommend this place. It would have been nice if coffee, sugar or some cooking ingredients were provided.

Fantastic place, more than just a base.
We picked this Bach to use as a base for exploring and enjoying the Far North. We discovered that it was a great holiday spot in and of itself, and this place was a great place to relax and enjoy the views over the harbour. Wished we'd been able to stay longer.

Great view and cozy flat
We had an incredible time at the holiday house in Mangonoui with an incredible sea view! The cozy accommodation, combined with the mesmerizing Mangonoui harbour scenery, created the perfect getaway. Clean, comfortable, and serene – I highly recommend this haven for anyone seeking a relaxing escape by the sea.
