Country experience with amazing ocean views, but only 9 min from a major supermarket.Bush setting lovely, but mosquitoes a pain. Travellers should have bug spray.Would rent it again.

Beautiful views and wonderfully modern layout

Great stay in the rolling hills looking out over the island in the distance. Great layout offers nice kitchen, living, dining open area and separate bedroom wing. Perfect size for our family. Designed with clear thought, positioned for great views, highly functional. Had a great time! Thanks.

Phenomenal Location!

Our family absolutely adored our stay at this property. Dave & Steph from Bach Stay were great to deal with! The home had plenty of space for 2 families. Lots of room for entertaining & the views are phenomenal. The house had everything we needed including a couple of great toys for the kiddies & a good selection of DVDs. The bath is breathtaking! Only thing missing is a spa pool! 😉

Loved staying here

Loved staying here, exactly as per the pictures, clean, spacious, comfortable, great for family, had everything we could want for cooking dinners and breakfasts. Lovely location near Mangawhai for markets, chocolate, food etc. Peaceful and quiet. Having fans in two of the rooms was great and beds were comfortable.

A little slice of Mangawhai Heaven!

Only marked down cleanliness as kitchen surfaces could have been a little cleaner on arrival however this property totally lived up to all expectations - spectacular bush and sea views and a lovely modern home with all the trimmings, a very comfy bed and lovely outdoor living. We'd love to revisit.
