This house is a perfect place to stay in Mangawhai. Almost don’t want to recommend it as I might not be able to go again. The house is great - excellent views and ideally located - close to beach. Host brilliant!Great rooms and well maintained.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and clean & Very well equipped, well placed with a 5 minute walk down to the beach. The views from the picture windows are fantastic. Would highly recommend.
Bob's place is amazing, both the property and the location, and the views.
Just exceptional in every way. Tons of room, not so fancy you're worried about damaging anything, and a short walk to the water!!

5/5 – Exceptional StayWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bob’s place. The house was incredibly comfortable, beautifully presented, and perfectly positioned with scenic surroundings that made the experience even more special. Every little detail was taken care of — a testament to Bob’s thoughtfulness and great communication throughout.Everything was perfect from start to finish, and we genuinely felt at home. We will surely be coming back again. Highly recommended!
Spacious, clean and very comfortable with heaps of games and activities to keep the kids entertained.
Brilliant location, with easy access to the surf beach and the estuary. Wonderful host who went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed and felt welcome.
Couldn't have asked for more.

Always nice to receive comments like this.
The property is a fantastic house superbly located, Bob the host was very accommodating and helpful and very approachable.We would love to revisit if available at our time.The children loved the area with the estuary and the close surf beach.
Amazing spot and reasonably priced for what we were looking for. Had an amazing view of the ocean from the lounge and deck. Bob was an amazing host and easy to deal with. Thanks again for allowing us to stay. Stay safe.

Jayden and his friends are very recommended, they left our place very tidy,
Very. recommended guests
Beautiful views and well cared for property. We were blown away with all the little extras this property offered which meant we had everything we needed for our stay. Beds are comfortable and all ammenities are well explained and thought out.
The property had lovely views and was very comfortable and spacious to stay in. The home was well presented. The only negative comment we would make is that the number of notes attached to items within the property seems excessive.
Three longtime friends reunited and Bob's house was a perfect place. A beautiful home with stunning views. Equipped with everything we could ask for and more. Location is also topnotch. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time over the long weekend with our friends. We could take long walks on the beach and spent a nice morning at the markets on Saturday. We had long evenings playing cards and watching the Warriors. Shame that they lost. Loved the house. Very comfortable. Our dog loved it too.
loved this property. Bob was extremely easy to communicate with and the house was exactly as listed. We were 4 adults, 1 infant, and 1 dog and it was very spacious with incredible views. Easy walk to the estuary, and a 2-3 minute drive to the beach. Would recommend, appreciated the little touches amongst the property as well. Thanks for a great stay :)
You won't move from the deck with the amazing view of Mangawhai estuary life. Great holiday with the family. Huge house with everything you'll need. Top-notch communication with Bob. We hope to be back.
Bob's Mangawhai house is a home we keep returning to. What a location and view? This home has everything you need, it's walking distance via the beach to the village and is great for families. My boys just love playing table tennis downstairs. The house is close to the surf beach and dunes and the view over the estuary is breathtaking. Thank you Bob, and for the Mangawhai Bennetts chocolates you always leave - such a treat!

Guests like these meet every Host"s highest hopes.
We look forward to them returning
I feel conflicted in giving a fantastic review of Bob's property because it will make it all the more difficult to rent in the future! But that would be very unfair on Bob. A fantastic place, great size for our family, amazing location, and the views alone make it worthwhile. you don't need a TV with views like this! Thank's Bob for letting us stay. We will be back.
