SURFER’S FLASH SALE – EXTRA 25% OFF! 🌊

Winter is when Mangamaunu truly comes alive.

The crowds disappear, the swell starts delivering, and those long, clean lines become even more rewarding. Crisp mornings, empty lineups, and world-class waves right on your doorstep - this is the season surfers wait for.

For a limited time, we’re offering an extra 25% off our already discounted low-season rates when you book 2 nights or more directly through our website.

Spend your days chasing waves at the renowned Mangamaunu surf break, then return to warm, comfortable accommodation just moments from the ocean. Watch the conditions from the viewing deck, relax after a long session, and wake up ready to do it all again.

DM us the word “Surf” to be sent the promo code.

🏄 Valid for stays from now until 31 August 2026
🏄 Sale ends 14th of June 2026
🏄 Minimum stay of 2 nights
🏄 Direct bookings only
🏄 Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer

The waves won’t wait, lock in your winter surf escape today.

* Best dog in the world, subjective. Depends on day. Always in a great mood. Occasionally dirty if she's been rolling in puddles. Won't ever go inside your accommodation but is always down for pats if you are 🐾❤

Check out this awesome star trail taken from work a couple of weeks ago, looking celestial south ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Can't wait to try this again on a night with a new moon, when there's no light 'pollution' from the moon ✨️ 🌙
