A great weekend away

We had a great weekend away in Mangawhai. The house was great, lovely and clean and with a separate space for the kids downstairs worked out really well. It was wonderful to be able to have our dog with us and he loved walks down at the esturary. The deck was a great place for meals and was lovely and private. We would recommend staying here and will definitely be back. Thanks for having us.

One night getaway

Nice to get away for a night stay and beautiful to stay so close to the estuary ...a very easy walk (down a few stairs). True batch experience, oven didn't work which was an inconvenience and couch covers cushions hard to keep tidy.

Big family style bach

Our stay at the Eyres bach was wonderful. Great location an east walk to the Estuary and into Wood Street for supplies. We stayed as 3 mums and 4 kids. Big downstairs bedroom held 4 people easily. Comfortable beds and all amenities such as fans for summer. Such a good spot for a family to relax and big enough for extended families. Thank you Rob and Jane.

Great place. No extras, ie no towels, sheets, milk, soap etc.

It was good, perhaps great for a bigger family for a week or so in summer, it would offer a real nz holiday. A little expensive for one night due to fees etc.

Nice Traditional NZ Bach

Overall a nice traditional beach Bach dwelling. Comfortable and had everything need for sunny days and those inside rainy days too. Rooms were plenty and allowed everyone their own space. Being pet friendly we bought both our Beagles aling. The township is pleasant and the Saturday markets interesting though a bit small. Would recommend to others and would book again.

Comfortable, sunny family bach. Lovely big deck with french doors to open up and let the sunshine in and outdoor furniture to sit out the slow days.

Sunny and Spacious

This bach has a great upper living area, lots of space inside and out with a great outdoor area. Its a good old kiwi bach and has a relaxed holiday feel. The downstairs area was a little musty, but am sure with a bit of airing it would be great. We didn't need to use it during our stay. Really appreciated the cold bottled water in the fridge. A great bach in a great location.

Great stay at Mangawhai!

Property was great for a family get away, we all enjoyed being able to spend Christmas together in a beautiful location. We did have a little issue with the water, especially in the shower, it seemed to not smell very pleasant, may have been something in the water tank or something to do with the pipes

We had problems accessing the Bach because we did not get the email from Rob before we left as we left early. I canno get email on my phone and was on my phone to Book a Bach for nearly 2 hours trying to resolve this. We were cut off several times after long waits. Rob was excellent when we were contacted through to him. We had to buy sheets and towels at the local opportunity shop as we didn't realise these weren't included.
