very comfitable room wit top hosts.

There was no breakfast provided and $200 was a lot of money from arrival at around 3. pm.

I noticed, after letting myself in as the key was left for me that the drapes were wet upon walking in. When I spoke to the owner on his return he said his wife had washed them, and they were still drying then. The dehumidifier was left on all until I went to bed to take the dampness out of one of the drapes and it was dry in the morning although there was water in the dehumidifier and the owners had not emptied it even though I went out to dinner. They also asked for me to pay cash and I needed them to get funds from the ATM as Mangawhai does not have a bank. The bathroom was cold, the coffee maker was grubby which I washed inside and then it would not work. I needed to rinse out the kettle to make a cup of tea and there wasn't even a biscuit to have with my tea in the morning. Towels were clean, there was one already used bottle of shower soap and one by the handbasin. It is needs updating with a new mattress and I just felt $200 was a lot to pay. I still do not have the receipt, but took a picture of the cash I gave the owners.

Easy to find and private. Well equipped

Everything. Lovely relaxed ambience.

Great location, wonderful host, room was beautiful and clean. Couldn't have been better.

Everything!! The Owners/Managers were there from the beginning, continued that strong connection on arrival and built alliances with their kindness and respect as days ticked by. Cherry on top would be purchasing merchandise.

N/A

The access to the lovely studio is unavoidably steep and has steps that make carrying luggage tricky if you are elderly. (but worth the effort!)

Location 2 mins walk to variety of shops. Especially eating.

Easy to find, great view, lovely and clean and tidy. Friendly welcome when we arrived. Needed to stay longer, beautiful area of nz to explore.

Good amenities of food, dining, shops were in walking distance. Nice town and beach

No cable or smart TV.

A lovely large suite tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Nice large deck.

A separate access to our suite #2 would give suite #1 more privacy.

Good location to central Mangawhai. Clear instructions for payment. Modern decor, spacious bathroom. Great hosts.

Very kind and helpful hosts. The homemade guacamole and chips on the roof top deck were a bonus!

Great central location. Nice garden surrounds. Very good sized bathroom/unit. Hosts were very friendly (as was their dog). Perfect for what I needed.

Not so much a negative but just to be aware if you are a light sleeper to bring earplugs as it is on the main road, you can also hear upstairs/unit next door.

Hosts had good communication, easy check in and were very helpful. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well equiped and close to everything - shops, beach etc. Especially loved Benji and the avocados!!

Nothing

Amazing location.

Room does get hot in summer. But with the fan running it was fine.

Really clean, fab shower and a lovely outside area to sit. Walking distance of great eateries and short drive to the Lovely beach at Mangawhai heads. Benjie the Bichon was gorgeous

Lovely place to stay

Guests in the unit next door had to walk past our ranch slider on shared balcony to access their unit

Hosts were responsive with quick communication and met us at the property. Kids loved being greeted by their friendly little dog 😊Short walk to town centre and plenty of shops and restaurants. Do need a car preferably for access to beach but is walkable.

No breakfast. Short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach

All good

It was peaceful and secluded, but handy to the village and the beach, clean and comfortable.

Exceptional accommodation with everything we needed. Our hosts were just lovely and very welcoming and friendly.. we just had to ask if we needed anything. The location was just stunning with loads to do.

There was nothing not to like...the only thing we can think of was having to leave!

Good location. Private balcony if neighbours didn’t walk past . Good sized room.

Location is great. Walking distance to shops & Restaurants.

Room was really nice and spacious. Bed was comfy. Hosts were lovely and I enjoyed meeting them and their dog.

The shower pressure was a bit too hard, I couldn't figure out how to make it less. But not a huge issue.

Location, easy communication, friendly hosts, compact, comfortable studio

Beautiful spacious unit! Comfortable king size bed. All the amenities you need. Coffee machine with pods were an extra bonus. Nice powerful shower. Very close to shops and restaurants. We were on a motorbike and tried to get to Mangawhai early. Owners let us check on early. Check out of 11am the next day was also an added bonus. We were greeted by Lorna the owner. Very nice and friendly.

Home away from home

Great location, hosts very friendly and easy to communicate with. Clean and compact

The location was amazing. Also a really powerful hot shower.

All good.

A very special relaxing place to stay and super welcoming hosts. Everything was perfect :)

Great location near the shops and golf course.Nice and private.

Fabulous location, and the accommodation was really lovely - very clean, spacious and had everything we required. Great view and bed was very comfortable but we could have benefited from a fan as it was a very warm night! Would highly recommend this accommodation!

Great location, friendly hosts, clean & tidy.. thank you, will definitely be back.

N/A

Great location and incredible views. Very peaceful but close to amenities.

To note payment was in cash only (or NZ bank transfer)

Location was great. Easy walk to cafes/restaurants.

Traffic noise. Surprised at constant stream of cars but we thought perhaps it was due to the detour in place while Brynderwyns are closed.

Location and cleanliness and the owners
