Mangawhai Heads and Village are popular holiday destinations for locals and offer fantastic surfing and fishing, a calm harbour for swimming and kayaking and sand dunes that are home to rare birds and great for walking. The area is also home to a thriving arts and crafts community as well as vineyards, and olive groves. For the sweet tooth people, the chocolatiers Bennetts of Managawhai is a must and we recommend a stop at Four Little Birds Cakes!
