We had a great stay at Bek’s Retreat at Mangawhai Heads. The beds were comfortable and the shower was really good. There was everything one needed and it was very peaceful. The host, Annette, was quick to come and help with the TV and she was friendly and easy to get on with. Hope to return in the not too distant future.

According to my wife Elizabeth and Sister vising from England, the holiday bach was just perfect for our stay. They couldn't of wished for anything better. Beds were so comfortable and it was so peaceful and quiet. The only let down was it rained on our last day. The beach walks was great. Look forward to visiting again.
