Easy access and a very warm and friendly welcome. Everything we needed and more in a modern home with comfortable indoor and outdoor (covered) living. Home from home. Well equipped kitchen and nice touches like coffee machine and pods. Spotlessly clean. A quiet residential area handy to shops and restaurants.

This property was so cute, clean and although small, it felt bigger, with a lovely sheltered balcony area. The kitchen and bathroom were well appointed and Rene was quick to respond to messages. Thank you Rene, we will definitely book again in the future 🙂

Mangawhai bolthole

A lovely Bach to hang out in as we attended a family wedding. An easy walk to the Mangawhai town and shops, and lovely board walk along the estuary. No view but peaceful, and a lovely neighbour who helped us out with a torch during a power cut and loaned us her ironing board.

Comfortable apartment within easy walking access to all of Mangawhai’s shop and attractions

My husband and I spent 5 days in this apartment while visiting family in the Mangawhai area. Our stay was made very easy as linen and towels are provided and a large supermarket is only 5 min drive away. Inside, the apartment is clean and spacious with 3 bedrooms, modern bathroom, kitchen and living area and large sheltered deck, where we enjoyed breakfast each day. Rene is very helpful and responds quickly to queries. A very pleasant stay all round.

Great getaway spot.

Family Christmas 🎄 away from home. Very close to Mangawhai township & close to beach. Cycle tracks close by. Clean, spacious nest attached to another permanent dwelling. We had everything we needed & were spoilt with a beautiful Christmas tree set up in the lounge. Beds are comfortable & good parking. The canary sings a lot! 😊. We recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting a breakaway.
