The bach was very homely and welcoming and had a very kiwiana vibe with original Nz landscape paintings and retro furniture. Also nice views with nice glimpses of the ocean and estuary. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering a stay in Mangawhai. Hosts were easily reachable and made us feel at home. Many thanks!

Home away from home

The homely house was a great place to stay, whether for a short stay or a longer break. It is within walking distance of the beach, golf club, Bowling club and shops. We felt at home at the very start and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing communication with friendly host whose written emailed instructions were clear and helpful. The lockbox was easy to find. The bach is a classic 70's era place. We loved the furnishings of a great time gone by. There are glimpses of the ocean and lovely views of hills. There are walks nearby leading down to the estuary. The fabulous ocean beach is a very short drive away. We loved it here.
