This house was family-friendly and catered to what my family needed. It was close to shops and a lot of food places. My children were also able to walk to the local park and have a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this retreat.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this little retreat — it truly is a hidden gem and a real home away from home. The house had everything we needed, and we loved every bit of our time here. David is such a friendly and welcoming host, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cosy home with everything close by.

My family and I had an absolute pleasure accomodating ourselves at the Retreat in Mangere Bridge. Dave and his wife Shilpa, made us feel very welcome and this definitely was a home away from home. The premises was quite and clean. The location was away from all the hustle and bustle of city life which I loved. Very peaceful. We checked in at 2am with ease. Would definitely recommend staying here and will definitely come and stay again if opportunity arises.

David was an amazing host. Very accommodative and he checked up on us everyday to make sure we needed anything else. The house was very warm cozy inviting and well equipped with all the essentials and more. Loved the personal touches of the home decor. A great place to stay if anyone is looking for a place to stay in the mangere bridge area. Highly recommend as I will definitely use the accommodation again in the future.

Retreat in Māngere was wonderful - the house is private, well equipped, beautifully decorated, warm and in a great location. Check in was smooth and flexible (we loved that it was just a self check in). We do prefer softer beds as a family but that is just our personal preference and I am pregnant so harder to sleep on firm beds. Overall we were very satisfied and would happily book this stay again, cheers.

Tidy accommodation. We only spent 1 night prior to flying out the following morning so it was perfectly adequate for what we required.
