The draw of one of the prettiest country towns in the state, combined with a house on a unique site on the glorious Blackwood River, is tempting enough.

But the vision of the timber building that opens up after a short drive along the riverbank is something else.

The rustic home fits into the hillside as if was made for the space among the trees, but it began life as the homestead of an orchard at Newlands, just out of Donnybrook.

The owners transported it to its present site, and with skilled tradespeople set about transforming it with the comforts of modern living while enhancing its rustic charm.

This handcrafted masterpiece offers a rich heritage in every room. As well as being wheelchair friendly.

High ceilings, an extensive use of jarrah including in the grand staircase, french doors with blacksmith made fittings and a rustic open fireplace with a refurbished Metter Wood Stove are on the long list of features.

A panoramic bay window overlooking the Blackwood River adds to the appeal of the dining room.

There are two air-conditioned main bedroom suites on the ground floor, with walk-in-dressing rooms.

On the second storey is a sitting room that

Kaipara Harbour

Discover the coastal beauty of Mangawhai and beyond

Ancient forest walks and birdwatching galore

There’s a good reason behind the label ‘Magical Mangawhai’.

T

he gateway to the stunning natural beauty of the Bay of Islands, Mangawhai sits within a 15-minute drive to breathtaking beaches.

Mangawhai, also known as Mangawhai Heads, is a charming seaside town that is fast becoming a coveted destination for Auckland weekenders and those who covet rural lifestyles in northern New Zealand.

Located on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, about 80 minutes north of Auckland City, Mangawhai is nestled between the Pacific coast and rolling farmland.

If golf isn’t your thing, charter boats are available to take you fishing at sought after fishing spots including Hen & Chicken Islands and Sail Rock. If you’re after a bit more of a voyage, the glorious Mokohinau Islands is a fishing paradise thriving with large marlin, kingfish, tuna, snappers, and more. Popular fishing charters include Offshore Adventures and Fishmeister, and you can expect to see clear blue seas, pristine white beaches and dolphins along the way.

Beyond water-based activities, Mangawhai offers many lovely walking and hiking trails including the Mangawhai Cliff Top walk, the Tanekaha Falls track and the Waipu Coastal Trail.

Described as one of the best coastal walks in New Zealand, the Mangawhai Cliff Top walk brings remarkable views up and down the coast and to off-shore islands, and the chance to spot passing whales and schools of sharks.

When you’ve had enough of exploring, food and wine lovers can sample the fine wines at boutique vineyards, visit the famous Bennett’s chocolate workshop for hand crafted chocolates or browse the bustling farmer’s market packed with fresh produce.

Historic Pouto Lighthouse, Kaipara Head, Northland

Venture to the outskirts of Mangawhai to the Ancient Kauri Trail, the route across the Brynderwyn Hills. Start at Maungaturoto and wind your way up the untamed west coast to encounter ruggedly beautiful west coast beaches.

The trail is also famed for the Trounson Kauri Park and Waipoua Forest, where you can meander along forest boardwalks while soaking up the presence of ancient giant kauri trees. It is famously home to the largest kauri tree in New Zealand—a 2000-year-old majestic specimen known as Tāne Mahuta, The Lord of the Forest.

A short one-hour drive away from Mangawhai is Kaipara Harbour, the largest harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. Birdwatchers can glimpse migratory and local wading birds like godwits, fairy terns, dotterels, and oystercatchers, which thrive in the diverse ecosystem of coastal mudflats, freshwater swamp, reed beds, scrubland, mangrove forest, and sea grass.

It’s no wonder that picturesque Mangawhai has earned a place in our list as an idyllic getaway escape.

With activities like golfing, fishing and hiking, residents and visitors can soak up a relaxed Kiwi coastal and country lifestyle in this vast outdoor playground.

Golfers are spoilt for choice with Mangawhai’s outstanding golf courses. Imagine golfing against an unbeatable ocean view with rugged mountains in the far distance, in a remote corner of the known world.

Experience a true golf oasis at the Tara Iti Golf Club, New Zealand’s most exclusive private golf resort. Opened in 2015, the property on Te Arai Beach—one of New Zealand’s prime surfing spots—lands at No. 6 on Golf Digest’s ranking of the World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses. Alongside, Te Arai Links includes both the South Course designed by legendary golf architects Coore and Crenshaw, and the Tom Doak-designed North Course due to open late 2023. While Tara Iti remains a lesser-known secret for now, we expect more golfers making their way there in the future.

Nearby, the Mangawhai Golf Club—recently ranked seventh place in New Zealand—offers a challenging 18-hole Par 72 championship golf course set on a magnificent sandbased natural parkland.

New Zealand

Land of Contrasts

They call it the majestic mid-Canterbury region, and for good reason.

Play golf at the Mid-Canterbury Terrace Downs Rakaia Resort

C

overing a sizeable chunk of New Zealand’s eastern South Island, the Mid-Canterbury area encompasses a broad tapestry that ranges from snow-capped mountains, pristine alpine lakes, rolling green pastures and high country wilderness.

Mid-Canterbury—one of four sub-regions in the province—counts among New Zealand’s richest agricultural and pastoral regions, offering diverse activities served up with friendly country hospitality.

There are endless opportunities to explore the breathtaking great outdoors. Walk, hike and mountain bike the many bush and backcountry trails; fish, jet boat and raft the rivers, or absorb the magnificent landscapes from above on a scenic plane, helicopter or balloon flight—and all within an hour’s drive from Christchurch International Airport.

Methven, snow sports hub The formidable Mount Hutt takes centre stage, providing an unbeatable big mountain experience for skiers and snowboarders.

With an altitude of 2,086m and a skiable area of 365 hectares, the Mount Hutt Ski Area is one of New Zealand’s largest ski areas. It has some of the best natural snow around, and one of the longest vertical drops in the South Island. On a fine day, you can see right across the Canterbury Plains to the Pacific Ocean.

Winter sports aficionados can opt for a stay at chic village Methven. Accommodation options range from backpackers to lodges, on top of an excellent choice of eateries and bars. Soothe your aches by booking a session at the Opuke Thermal Pools & Spa, and unwind at its star-lit caves and relaxation pools.

down the salmon-rich Rakaia River, one of Canterbury’s seven iconic braided rivers. You’ll never feel more alive as the boat navigates narrow twists and turns, through roaring torrents flanked by rocky cliffs.

Golfer’s dream destination Mid-Canterbury is a golfer’s dream destination, home to six golf courses within a relatively small area. Fable Terrace Downs Resort, recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading golf courses, is built on terraces high above the Rakaia River and offers a dramatic setting for golfers. The 18-hole, par 72 championship course features four tee positions to cater for players of all abilities.

Endless outdoor adventures From Canterbury, there’s easy access to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, a rugged land of ice and rock which encompasses 23 peaks over 3000 metres high. It’s the purest

alpine experience with sky-scraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.

It’s where you can find mighty Mount Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, which was the prime training ground for New Zealand native Sir Edmund Hillary in his conquest of Everest. Besides mountaineering expeditions and mountain walks, adventurers can get incredible views of the Tasman glacier.

The Hakatere Conservation Park is equally picturesque, covering nearly 60,000 hectares of rugged mountain country, tussocklands, beech forest and sparkling clear rivers and lakes between two rivers the Rakaia and Rangitata. Fantasy geeks would know Mount Sunday for being the film site in The Lord of the Rings.

Discover the dark sky reserve at Lake Tekapo, one of the world’s best places for stargazing. Besides being popular during the summer months, the photogenic lake is also renowned for its shores and riverbanks of bright purple and pink lupins in full bloom.

This is a big country, and it’s nothing short of epic.

The little country town of Rakaia is the proud gateway to the spectacular Rakaia Gorge.

Embark on the Rakaia Gorge Walkway, a leisurely 10km journey that takes one through a peaceful forest trail and overlooking river-carved terraces.
