This had been a home away from home for our team working in the area for the last few months. Karen is a great host and made everything so very easy for us.

Our work team have spent the last couple of months at Karen’s house, everything we needed was provided and it’s been a perfect place to come home to after a hard days work. Karen is a great host and we highly recommend her house.

This is a lovely holiday home with room for a large family. There is an excellent open space dining and lounge area inside and a great outdoor space with excellent table and chairs for dining, great outdoor furniture and BBQ. Great space for large family group. Location is on the outskirts of Mangawhai itself with a 5 minute drive to beach and village shopping. However, are some convenient smaller shops closer by. Best recommendation is that we would love to come back here next summer!

This Bach is so well kept, has lovely interior decorating and is an easy walk to the Mangawhai shops. Our dogs were very happy in the well fenced garden and our friends could easily visit for lunch due to the spacious decks and loads of outdoor furniture. We loved the extensive shade sail over the main outdoor dining. So great to have air con, Wi-fi, Netflix etc on the big screen TV, well stocked pantry, good size fridge. Next to a school with a gate into the field with a big bike track and multiple playgrounds. Probably the best bach we have stayed at yet. The beds are big - bring your biggest sheets! The owner also replies very promptly and is really kind and friendly.
