Step onto 33 Surf Road and it feels like everything slows down a notch. With Picnic Bay moments from home, swimming, surfing or walking the main beach becomes part of your daily rhythm, not a mission that starts with hunting for a car park. This is the kind of spot that quietly becomes the backdrop for family stories over the years.

Set on an elevated, premium site, the section takes in wide views across the Mangawhai Bar and out towards Little Barrier Island - a genuine front-row seat to changing light, tides and weather. Plans for an architecturally designed three-bedroom, one-bathroom home have already been drawn up for this site, giving you the option to move straight into planning your build rather than starting from scratch. The design leans into the outlook and the coastal setting, making it easy to imagine a relaxed, low-maintenance base here.

The surrounding pocket of Mangawhai Heads is established and quietly upmarket, with quality homes and a residents’ tennis court and clubhouse adding to the sense of community. From here, you’re close enough to wander down for a morning dip, an afternoon surf or a lazy paddle, then retreat back to your own elevated space above it all.

Whether you see this as a coastal retreat or your full-time address, 33 Surf Road offers a rare chance to secure a position along one of Mangawhai’s most sought-after coastal stretches. Get in touch to arrange a viewing and explore what’s possible on this special site.
