Mangawhai Heads Holiday Park sits on a tranquil lagoon-style harbour at Mangawhai Heads, roughly 90 minutes north of Auckland and 60 minutes south of Whangarei.

The park offers powered and non-powered sites, cabins, and absolute waterfront positions where guests wake to a white sandy beach. An adjacent boat ramp provides all-tide access for boating and fishing.

The surrounding area caters to a wide range of activities. The calm estuary is suited to safe swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, and water-skiing, while a short walk leads to a surf beach for bodyboarding and surfing.

Dolphins are occasionally spotted in the water. On land, several well-regarded walking tracks are nearby, including the popular cliff-top walk with panoramic coastal views.
