Property was perfect with a gorgeous view. Inside was roomy and super comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and the main bed was very comfortable, however the twin beds were a bit hard.

Very comfortable accommodation with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a lengthy stay. The view from the balcony is stunning! And the stars at night are amazing. Our host was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. An absolute must-stay address when visiting the Mangawhai area.

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.
