Great view and cozy flat

We had an incredible time at the holiday house in Mangonoui with an incredible sea view! The cozy accommodation, combined with the mesmerizing Mangonoui harbour scenery, created the perfect getaway. Clean, comfortable, and serene – I highly recommend this haven for anyone seeking a relaxing escape by the sea.

Cosy & clean

The bach is nice and clean and has a great view to the beach. It is only minutes away from the town centre. The communication with the property manager was easy. I highly recommend this place. It would have been nice if coffee, sugar or some cooking ingredients were provided.

Nice place to stay

We had a few things that we had problems with, which we notified David about. It would be nice to have a few basic like, tea and coffee, soap, even hair dryer and an iron would be good . When you’re travelling around these littles extra are always helpful to have when you arrive at a place.

Great time in Mangonui

The property is a great little spot. The space was very clean and tidy with a nice clean layout. I would suggest a couple of updated photos of appliances as the TV and coffee machine were slightly different to those in photos. That is really if I have to to mention anything negative. The communication with David the property manager was the best I have ever had with any managers before. He was prompt and very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks again.

Fantastic place, more than just a base.

We picked this Bach to use as a base for exploring and enjoying the Far North. We discovered that it was a great holiday spot in and of itself, and this place was a great place to relax and enjoy the views over the harbour. Wished we'd been able to stay longer.
