We had a lovely time. The house is within walking distance of everyone you need but just far enough out of town to ensure a peaceful stay. We have stayed here previously and will do so again.

Gorgeously presented and perfect location

It was a stunning and well fitted out gorgeous little home. The linen was top notch, beds comfortable and you didn’t want for anything. Will definitely come back again and again and tell friends and family.

Relaxing stay

We enjoyed staying in an old but comfortable and very nicely renovated cottage (a nice change from bland and characterless!). Nice to have front and back areas to relax in according to the weather. Wish we had more time to spend here.

Superb stay in Mangonui

We loved our stay in Bakery Cottage so much that we extended by a couple of days. It is a spacious and well equipped cottage that we immediately felt at home in. Pam was extremely helpful and made our stay really enjoyable.

Excellent location and facilities

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, taking in dusk over the bay with cocktails from the sunroom, and doing the easy walk into the village for kai. The house was really well equipped with everything we needed, and was in immaculate condition. Would definitely recommend and would search it out if we're in the area again.
