Holiday Rental and Airbnb Property Management

About
At MangaStay, we believe exceptional homes deserve exceptional care and that short-term rental management should feel effortless, personal, and highly rewarding for property owners.
Based in Mangawhai and proudly locally owned, we manage every home as if it were our own. This isn’t just where we work, it’s where we live and connect with our community. That local presence is at the heart of everything we do.

Local Knowledge. Real Results.
As experienced short-term rental hosts, Sarah and Jon understand what makes a property stand out in a competitive market. From professional presentation and strategic pricing to seamless guest communication, every detail is managed with care and purpose.
Our deep understanding of Mangawhai’s seasonal demand, visitor trends, and guest expectations allows us to maximise occupancy, protect your asset, and deliver strong, consistent returns.
Practical Expertise You Can Trust
MangaStay offers more than just property management—we bring real, practical capability to the table.
Jon is also the owner of BlackSwamp Building Ltd, giving us direct access to building expertise, maintenance solutions, and property improvements. This means:
Faster response times
Proactive maintenance
Cost-effective solutions
Long-term care for your investment
It’s a level of support many management companies simply can’t offer.
Our Approach
We focus on achieving the perfect balance between two key outcomes:
Maximising returns for property owners
Delivering exceptional guest experiences
Everything we do is designed to enhance your property’s performance while ensuring every guest leaves with a five-star impression.
Proud to Be Local
When we’re not managing homes, you’ll find us enjoying everything Mangawhai has to offer—beach days, great coffee, golf, time with friends and family, and exploring the coastline with our two border collies. We love being part of this community, and that connection flows through everything we do at MangaStay
