Independent in Mangawhai from NZ$121

"We enjoyed being waterfront even though it was winter. We had amazing weather though so we enjoyed the deck at the back with all the different birds and views of the trees up the hill. The house was warm so didnt really have to use the heat pump much or the electric blankets on the beds. Would love to be be back to enjoy another break."

"Accommodation was good. Thought it might be a bit cold but once we got the fire going it warmed the place up. Kitchen was well equipped which would have been useful if we were there longer. Was well located for our planned activities"

"We had an overnight stay and loved the experience. It is not very far from the beach and basic amenities. Amazing views and lovely host. Overall, a wonderful stay on our short getaway from Auckland."

"An excellent place to stay, we will be back"

"The Bach is as promised, close to an absolutely gorgeous beach, accessed directly from a small greenway. It’s a cute little older house but quite well maintained and very cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed and more was available for our use. Even in slightly wet weather we didn’t regret this stay one bit, and could have stayed longer very happily.The local market and basic needs are just a short drive or a fifteen minute walk away.Carrie and John were responsive to all of our questions and more than happy to share advice and knowledge.By all means we would book this little Bach again. It was modest but complete and the location and hosts were beyond wonderful."

"We loved every bit of it in this order - the night sky - cozy home- stunning views - bird life - gorgeous deck "

"PROPERTY WAS EXCELLENT AND THE STAFF WERE EXTREMELY PLESENT."

"Quite weekend away from the city"
