Great place, clean, comfy, handy location
A lovely place, a great option for a bunch of friends hanging out together, with an open plan living, sleeping & kitchen set up. The separate sleep out with 3 beds provides another peaceful space. Lorraine is a very welcoming host and it's such a nice place to stay.

A great spot not too far away from the main town centre and amenities. It is in suburbia but if you want a place to put your head down and go out and enjoy al that is on offer this ticks the bill. The owner was lovely and very helpful

Some good, some not that great
Positives: Lorraine was very friendly and helpful. Immaculately clean space with all the necessary conveniences. Lots pf parking on site, good security. A wonderful French cafe/restaurant nearby called the Frog and Kiwi. Not so positives: The double bunk bed was uncomfortable and lumpy. From the listing photos we expected a sea view of the heads. Unfortunately this property is in the suburbs and a 5-10 minute drive to the beach, depending on which beach you go to. So sadly no views. We felt a little misled. Our suggestion to the host would be to either remove the sea view images or make it very clear that the property is not actually near the beach.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
Thank you for the positive comments. With regard to the proximity to the beach(es), the written description of the property does state 'surf beach 10-minute drive', thus making it clear that the beach is not actually near the beach. The reason the photo is included is to show prospective guests who are unaware of Mangawhai attractions, what is available. Rather than take the photo down, my suggestion is that people read the entire description when deciding what suits their needs.

Lovely accommodation for large groups and families
Lorraine was a lovely host, the location was very quiet and close to mangawhai and mangawhai heads beach. We had a group of 5 and the host allowed us to stay in both the accommodation area plus the small sleep out at the back which worked really well for us!
