Clean and tidy property with everything I needed for a relaxing weeked. Comfortable bed. Location is private and situated so the sea breeze stays calm. I really enjoyed my getaway and would definitely go back. The option to sit at the table on higher ground is great as you can choose to sit and watch the sea.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mahanga Dunes. It is such a beautiful spot and an amazing facility that had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the design of the bach, the bifolds, the deck, the outdoor shower, the table up on the dunes. The bed was super comfy. We would highly recommend the place and look forward to our next stay. The only thing that could be added is a dish cloth and a bit more toilet paper.

Beautiful home in a serene and peaceful location.I would suggest improving the indoor seating. Although shown in the photos when booking the bach, the 3 seating options provided appears to be more suited to outdoor use and, unfortunately, were extremely uncomfortable. Especially after a long day at the beach we were looking forward to returning home, putting our feet up and relaxing on the couch. However, due to the lack of the uncomfortable seating you didn’t feel relaxed.I feel that cosier and more comfortable indoor seating would complement the space perfectly and with this small improvement, I would have no hesitation in rating the property a 10/10.
