Whare Iti • Boutique Coastal Retreat • Mangawhai Heads

A warm and comfortable home in a quiet neighbourhood Positive: Whare Iti is a warm and comfortable home. Being winter, I especially appreciated the gas fireplace in the living room and heat pump in the bedroom. The host has thought of everything guests might need both in amenities in the home and in the online guest information which was very helpful and clear. Robert St reserve is within walking distance, as are the shops and eateries on Wood St. The Mangawhai Heads Beach and Langs Beach are nearby and are firm favourites with the dogs, and they quite like the warm outdoor shower after a swim. After a long walk, a good night’s sleep is assured in this quiet and safe neighbourhood. Negative: A couple of minor home maintenance issues, to which the host was quick to respond to and we coordinated an acceptable solution.

Fantastic accommodation in a fantastic location. Positive: An amazing house in an excellent location. Everything in the house was of the highest standard and we could not fault a thing. Negative: Nothing

This is a lovely place if you want to be within walking distance of beach and shops, yet feel like you’re have privacy, Positive: Spotlessly clean, comfortable, stylish home, with lovely indoor/outdoor glow and great attention to detail. Fantastically convenient location, and felt very private. Negative: Nothing. My picky parents wished there were two bathrooms!

Positive: Fantastic property, modern, everything you need for our weekend away. Easy walking distance to beach and shops. Great communication, clear instructions, easy to find. Certainly highly recommended booking this accommodation Negative: Nothing, amazing stay

We discovered Whare Iti in 2025 with a previous owner and loved it and the same goes for 2026. The house is in mint condition and the location is terrific. Rose was professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!
