About the host
Hosted by sara marsden
We love traveling and spent many years working together in the yachting industry overseas. Hamish is originally from the UK and I grew up in Kapiti. Magical Mangawhai is now our home along with our daughter Lily and dog Cookie who loves to greet you at our gate for a few pats. We live on the property a few minutes walk up the hill, if you require any information we are happy to help.
We built and designed these cottages with a lot of thought and care to create a special space that's inviting and tranquil and made with love.
