Wish we could have stayed longer.

The accommodation was SO comfortable & spotlessly clean. Excellent communication from host making our arrival super easy - in torrential rain. Lots of information about what to see & do in the area. We will be back!

Fantastic Accommodation

The Guesthouse was spotlessly clean and very well setup with modern appliances. The wall framing is 6” providing excellent insulation. We very much enjoyed our stay. We found the stove top a bit tricky to get going - some instructions would be useful.

Cosy Getaway

Cosy on Korari is a peaceful, relaxing and tucked away little retreat. Easy to follow instructions, which included pictures for location and entry in/on property. All modern amenities, with guest access to Netflix. Fantastic shower. No laundry facilities on the property however there is a laundromat 3 minutes away, in the main shopping area of Mangakino. I highly recommend Cosy on Korari and we will certainly be staying here again.

Cosy on Korari

Awesome place to stay. everything is new, modern and up to date both indoors and outdoor. Highly recommended, the area is quite and close to all amenities. Wouldn't hesitate to book it again and will post the details on our Mangakino Memories FB page Brendan was a great host I let him know we would be very late as we were caught up with bad weather and road closures on the way down.. We arrived to find he had turned on the heat pump and lights for us. That was really appreciated.

Comfortable and cozy.

It was a bit tricky to find the house at the first instance but with the help we were able to find it. If a house number sign with smthing like "Cozy Heaven" or something was put at the visible location it would have been a bit easier. May be add one more chair in the kitchen 🙂. Other than that the place is nice and cozy. Friendly owners.

House is very neat and clean. It was very warm and cozy place for three of us. Two beadrooms with nice double bed in one and two single beds in the other. Kitchen is with everything you will need, including variety of beverages (tea and coffee). All modern equipments, it has aircon that kept the rooms warm. Good water pressure with hot water. Loved the shower head. Going to replace mine at home with same brand and type Brandon. Love our stay at this property. Would highly recommend.
