    The space
    Shell House is a truly unique two-bedroom coastal home, inspired by the curves and proportions of a seashell and nestled among the trees above beautiful Mill Bay.

    The light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is surrounded by windows, bringing the peaceful bush and garden setting into the home. Curved walls, a striking circular window and winding staircase give the property its distinctive character, while the wrap-around deck is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sea, bush and garden views and abundant birdlife.

    Bedroom 1 has its own ensuite bathroom. A full bathroom and adjacent walk-in shower are conveniently located next to Bedroom 2. Bedroom 2 also has a television with Sky connection.

    There is also a separate retreat/day room with a second television, providing another comfortable space to relax away from the main living area.

    Private and peaceful, yet within walking distance of historic Mangonui Village, the waterfront, cafés and restaurants, Shell House offers a memorable base for enjoying Mangonui and exploring the wider Doubtless Bay area and Far North.

    Less than 2 hours drive to Cape Reinga, making this the perfect spot to base yourself for exploring the North.
