Mahanga Dunes Retreat - Mahia Holiday Home

Designed to embrace its spectacular beachfront setting, this modern retreat invites you to slow down and soak up the beauty of the coastline. Large bi-fold doors open onto expansive sun-drenched decking, seamlessly connecting the indoor living spaces with the outdoors. Start your day with a coffee while watching the waves roll in, spend afternoons basking in the sunshine, and end the evening under a canopy of stars with the sound of the ocean as your backdrop.

Inside, the light-filled open-plan living area feels bright, airy, and welcoming. Floor-to-ceiling glazing captures the stunning surroundings, while the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, and dining space provide everything you need for a carefree stay. Whether you're enjoying a quiet weekend away or an extended beach escape, you'll feel right at home.

Sleeping up to four guests, this one-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples, small families, or friends looking to unwind by the sea. The relaxed layout offers comfort and flexibility while maintaining an intimate holiday atmosphere.

With the beach just steps away, days can be spent swimming, surfing, fishing, beachcombing, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this unspoilt stretch of coastline.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mahanga Dunes. It is such a beautiful spot and an amazing facility that had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the design of the bach, the bifolds, the deck, the outdoor shower, the table up on the dunes. The bed was super comfy. We would highly recommend the place and look forward to our next stay. The only thing that could be added is a dish cloth and a bit more toilet paper.
