Step onto the expansive deck to soak in the spa pool, fire up the Weber BBQ, and dine al fresco while taking in panoramic coastal scenery. After a day at the beach, relax in comfort as you enjoy modern amenities including high-end appliances, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and ample private parking.

Take in the Mangawhai Cliff Walk—one of New Zealand’s most scenic coastal trails—with a walking distance entrance nearby, or explore nearby attractions including boutique shops, Saturday markets, watersports, and a world-class 18-hole golf course.

Perfect for couples or small families, Hilltop Vista is your base for rest, reconnection, and relaxed coastal living.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The view and house were beautiful but was let down by the property management of it, by being dirty (drink marks on coffee table, fire place soot left around it, not vacuumed, kitchen bench top and stove not clean), unclear instructions regarding the property, hot water not being turned on, spa not up to temperature. Daisy at Bachcare was excellent helping us out but we haven’t heard anything back or received any compensation! Not acceptable when paying so much for accommodation!
