Wouldn't stay anywhere else

Bob's place is amazing, both the property and the location, and the views. Just exceptional in every way. Tons of room, not so fancy you're worried about damaging anything, and a short walk to the water!!

Fantastic family getaway

Spacious, clean and very comfortable with heaps of games and activities to keep the kids entertained. Brilliant location, with easy access to the surf beach and the estuary. Wonderful host who went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed and felt welcome. Couldn't have asked for more.

Weekend at beach with grandchildren.

The property had lovely views and was very comfortable and spacious to stay in. The home was well presented. The only negative comment we would make is that the number of notes attached to items within the property seems excessive.

Absolutely wonderful long weekend

loved this property. Bob was extremely easy to communicate with and the house was exactly as listed. We were 4 adults, 1 infant, and 1 dog and it was very spacious with incredible views. Easy walk to the estuary, and a 2-3 minute drive to the beach. Would recommend, appreciated the little touches amongst the property as well. Thanks for a great stay :)

Relaxing at the heads

We had a wonderful time over the long weekend with our friends. We could take long walks on the beach and spent a nice morning at the markets on Saturday. We had long evenings playing cards and watching the Warriors. Shame that they lost. Loved the house. Very comfortable. Our dog loved it too.

We keep coming back!

Bob's Mangawhai house is a home we keep returning to. What a location and view? This home has everything you need, it's walking distance via the beach to the village and is great for families. My boys just love playing table tennis downstairs. The house is close to the surf beach and dunes and the view over the estuary is breathtaking. Thank you Bob, and for the Mangawhai Bennetts chocolates you always leave - such a treat!
