Great school holiday getaway! Kids had a blast. Bach well equipped. Nice toasty fire for the cooler nights but still had stunning warm days to explore the beach and rock pools. Host was great with communication. Can't wait to come back.

Great place to get away and relax

Lovely historic house with plenty of room for all us. Nice big kitchen to prepare all the food and drinks, cosy fire, lots of games, we didn't need to bring our kubb! The adults and kids loved exploring the beach and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Stay!

We had a fantastic time here with the family! Bach is a classic rustic house with great inside areas to spread out and space outdoors to bbq and play lawn games. Great location near the beach with a nice calm swim spot for small children to boogie board their brains out (and they did even in October) and rock pools to explore. Host was very accommodating and

beautiful historic Cottage by the sea

We had an amazing time in this beautiful, historic cottage at Mangakuri Beach. There is a lot of space, inside and outside, and it is a great house for families with children. The property is fully fenced and as it is just next to the beach, there is plenty to do. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to be back!
