Amazing house and location

The house and location couldn’t have been better. We had an amazing time. The only thing that could have made it better was if hand soap had been provided.

Magical Mangwhai

We had a fabulous trip to Mangwhai with my family and parents. It is so close to the tavern and everything in Mangwhai. The house was perfect and just in front of the steps to swim in the estuary.

Special birthday celebration

Property was exactly as advertised and more. Communication and check in was smooth and easy. Huge house right on the estuary and plenty of room for everyone. Liked that the main bedroom and ensuite was away from the other bedrooms. The kids especially enjoyed the bunkroom. Perfect indoor/outdoor dining room, bbq and deck. Short walk to the markets.
