Great spot for family and friends

This is a great spot up on the hill looking out to the estuary and hills on either side of the house. The games room and kids toys were really appreciated and made our holiday break perfect despite some less than ideal weather.

Great stay for our group

Andrews property was perfect for our group over Easter. The house was so much bigger than expected with plenty of space for 3 families. Everything was clean and in great condition and communication with Andrew was easy before and during our stay. Location is great too, just a short drive to the surf beach or short walk down to the estuary. The kids loved the cupboard full of toys and it kept them busy the entire time! Thanks for a great stay, would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Beautiful home away from home, in Magical Mangawhai!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Such a great large space for our big family. This bach was well equipped with everything we needed and more. It is so thoughtfully set up with families and large groups in mind. So many amenities and little extras that were very well received by us. The 360 degree views were just stunning, sitting out on the deck to catch the sunset was just breath taking. The communication with the host was seamless from start to finish. Andrew touched base before our stay to make sure we were all set. He also checked in to make sure we settled in well, which we had indeed thanks to the well written Guest Manual. The location of this bach was also perfect, only minutes away from Mangawhai beach and the town centre for shops, cafes etc. If you are looking for a family friendly place to stay in Mangawhai, this will be perfect! Highly recommend.

Beautiful location but frustrating hidden costs

We booked this house with a group of people in anticipation for a friends wedding. The house location is great, atop a slop that overlooks the Mangawhai Heads area. Access to the town and walking trails to the beach were fun and easy. The experience inside the house left a little less to be desired. Before arriving we were told that if we wanted bedding and / or towels for our beds - it would be an extra charge. We were all flying in from the United States so we obviously would need this. Frustrating but we dealt. Then, we were told that upon check-out we would have to pay an additional charge for our trash. These things would've been fine if there was the expectation set upfront in the listing. We also didn't have a working drying, which also wasn't disclosed until we got three. This was a big reason why we booked a house for our stay. There were some other small things that were challenging, like no beach towels that were borrowable. We had to buy our own but otherwise the house came well equipped. It's a great location, great recommendations for activities but average experience.

Great family get-away

For 6 adults and 2 children getting together after being apart for 3 years this house was terrific. Spacious and sparkling clean it had plenty of room for us all plus separate areas to get away from each other if necessary. We loved the outdoor area and the views on both sides were spectacular. Thoroughly recommend it for family get togethers - Mangawhai is a wonderful place for kids and adults.
