Family Christmas
Superb accomodation for our multi-generational family of 15. We were all able to sit together at the big table on the enclosed deck for Christmas lunch (and other meals). There was plenty of room for us all to be together or have our own space. The pool is amazing. Di is an amazing host, accomodating and friendly.

Great place
We enjoyed our trip and the house. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Three bathrooms was a treat. Loved the pool. It rained a little so the covered gazebo kept our towels and spectatores dry. The covered and screened in deck was great for the bbq and meals. The provision of fans were appreciated as summer is always a little toasty. Thanks for the tip about the sat morning markets. Very relaxing weekend. Would definitely come here again.

Mums weekend
The ideal location for our annual Mums catch up. The property is set in rural Mangawhai has a beautiful outlook over the countryside to the estuary yet only 2min drive to the Mangawhai shops. The pool was a great addition. We loved having a bathroom each and the great deck and comfy outdoor furniture to use for a cup of tea to drinks and pizza. The owners communication was great and even called before we arrived ro check thay we were still coming etc.We will be back!

We had a fabulous time at this property. Diane and Billy were excellent hosts and just super lovely people. The pool was amazing and the large property was ideal for kids to run around. Close to the pub which is fantastic for a relaxed family meal and the markets held at the school on Saturday mornings. The layout of the house was ideal with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

The property is exactly as the photos and description show... unfortunately you were after more brand new apartment style - you don’t get one for that price, and for a one night booking, sorry you were unhappy - perhaps next time do your homework. First ever rating this low, hugely disappointed when we had to listen to you party into the early hours
