| There is plenty to do in and around Mangawhai such
as surfing, fishing, swimming, boating, walking or just go for a stroll
around cafés. Feel free to have a wander around our farm -
you will find lots of native flora and fauna. There are pheasants,
morepork, fantails, kingfishers and tuis. Beaches The surf beach is patrolled all summer so please check out their flags and advice. The estuary provides safe swimming but do watch when the tide is going out. Take a trip to Te Arai beaches or the nearby freshwater lakes. All beaches are magnificent – long – white – and often isolated. Surfies and fishermen with the kite lines enjoy this place. Only the forest comes down to the water’s edge. Lang’s beach is close by and is a beautiful north facing beach. Art Mangawhai has an interesting art community which is worth checking out. Of note is the Smashed Pipi gallery. It specialises in craft art including pottery and glass but there is some art and great wall hangings. The gallery is also the local outlet for our famous Bennetts’ Chocolates. Ask any chocolatier and they will have heard of Bennetts of Mangawhai. Mangawhai Mangawhai sits on the East Coast of Northland just 80 minutes north of the Auckland Harbour bridge on the twin Coast Discovery Route. Take State Highway 1 and 7kms north of Wellsford is the turn off to Mangawhai. From the North, enter the Mangawhai Road at Waipu or if driving from the Waipoua Kauri Forest arrive at Mangawhai using the road coming off State Highway 1 at Kaiwaka.
