Vineyard Vacation

Was a bit uncomfortable driving up to their front door each time and they always kept their front door open so you can see everyone inside , when we first arrived there were lots of cars and people on the property and we were just taken by surprise as we didn’t realise how little privacy the space had as you can’t see it on the listings photos. There’s nothing they can do about it and they’re lovely people but if you want to feel secluded and private this isn’t the right place

Great place, kind accommodating hosts.

Lovely peaceful location, friendly hosts. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

We had such a lovely relaxing weekend stay!! We used the spa on both days…. Highly recommend using it on a foggy morning! Just bliss! Everything about the place was spot on! Modern, warm, welcoming and relaxing! Highly recommended :)

We travel a lot. To numerous parts of the world. Occasionally you come across a place that delivers more than it promises. This is one such place. It is awesome. Superbly equipped with everything you need for a weekend or even a week. First class room fittings. Magnificent country views. However the best part is the hosts. Kelly and Brett are just the nicest, most accomodating and helpful hosts you’ll ever meet. If you’re thinking of booking this place, stop right now. Click the button and book Vineyard Vacation. Thoroughly recommended by seasoned travellers.

The property has fantastic views. It’s not too far away from Mangawhai village or the beach but far enough away to feel secluded and not be disturbed. The property is attached to the owner’s property, we met them on check in, who were absolutely lovely. Even though it’s right next to the main house it still felt very private and we didn’t have any issues. The kitchen facilities are great, can’t use the stove but there’s a hot plate that does the job as well as an air fryer which came in very handy. Fridge and freezer are perfect size for storing enough food for our little long weekend get away. Spa pool is great as well, it’s not too far from the property was just a shame it was cloudy when we were there so we couldn’t see the stars

The bedside lamps are super bright, so not great for reading a book whilst someone is sleeping, but that’s barely an issue this property is fantastic

Great set up, comfortable and super clean. Very well appointed with everything we needed for a weekend get away. Spa was a nice addition although a little surprised that it was behind the main house, didn't pick that up from the photos. It was extremely private, we never saw or heard the hosts even though the unit is attached to the main house. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again if the occasion arose.

It’s a shame that the oven was not able to be used (and to be totally clear it is not advertised as including an oven). Lovely equipment so just seems a real waste that it can’t be used. Other than that everything was perfect.

Stunning location, really well equipped with everything we needed

N/A everything was fab

Fantastic unit! Very clean, with lots of facilities for cooking/catering for yourself.

Excellent accommodation. Beautiful location. They went above and beyond for me twice, in doing pictures for my wedding and getting my charger back to me when left behind.

Excellent stay! The property was spotless throughout and very comfortable. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind enough to allow us to use the outside space as otherwise it would have been an ideal place to sit and relax while looking at the fabulous views.

Everything! It was an awesome experience and we enjoyed every second of it. everything was clean and preppy.

The privacy, cleanliness & everything we needed available.

Beautiful views great location

We liked everything

A beautiful peaceful place to stay. Postcard perfect views. Love the little nook in the room to sit and watch the view

Fantastic place to stay. Amazing, quiet, serene views and super warm inside as it's all double glazed and has central heating and electric blankets. Thoughtful chocolate on pillow, milk and snacks provided. I'd recommend staying there!

I don't think the amenities and layout of the space is clearly described though. And for some, that might not matter, but it wasn't as I expected. The accommodation is attached to the main house, that is occupied by the owner and their mother. You park at the front door of the main house, and walk around to the accommodation access, which is outside the main house kitchen. Suggestion: some planting or trellis would help provide more privacy. The spa pool isn't near the accommodation, it's along the deck, past main house bedrooms, to the other side of the house. I had thought it was part of the accommodation and so didn't use it at first as I felt uncomfortable. Perhaps privacy screens would help there. In staying that, the spa was really clean, and a georgous view. The owner was welcoming, although my preference would have been to not have contact while there. Again, some people might like that, just my preference. Also the oven isn't available, even though it's shown in the picture. We brought a pizza to cook but couldn't. Changing wording from 'fully equip kitchen' to specificying no oven would be useful. Would still highly recommend the stay.

Everything, particularly the views

There was nothing we didn't like

Spotlessly clean, views were stunning and decor so modern but still cosy!

Location, views, peacefulness and awesome hosts ❤️

Nothing

The apartment is well-designed, well-equipped and in very good order. It is comfortable and in a peaceful, scenic location. The hosts are friendly, helpful and considerate of your privacy.

Nothing comes to mind!

The apartment was very clean and tidy. The kitchenette was well stocked, and snacks were provided upon arrival. It is private too, which is important to us. We will definitely return.

Nothing

Fantastic position! Lovely owners: the apartment is immaculate and fully equipped. Complete silence during the day and at night.

Everything was perfect.

Was a lovely retreat with all details carefully thought through. The view was spectacular and we had the perfect spot to watch the sunset on the deck. We took full advantage of outdoor dining space, hot tub and more. Kelly and Brett were great hosts!

Great room and balcony, excellent amenities and the hosts were super welcoming and accommodating

The place was very clean, a lot of space for 2 people, so comfortable and the view outside is amazing Facilities were great and all small necessities were supplied which made the trip so much easier The place is beautiful and we had a whole deck to ourselves

We loved everything about this place Met the owners Kelly & Brett when we arrived. They were very welcoming and friendly

It was such a beautiful place to stay in. Very clean, comfortable and big enough for the 2 of us. We had the deck to ourselves and we were able to enjoy drinks outside watching the view and catching the sunset All necessities were great and well provided which made the trip so much easier Spa pool with a nice view behind the room. We were able to do our laundry and dry them there as well Met the owners Kelly & Brett when we arrived, they were very nice and friendly ♥️ I would definitely stay there again - the place is just beautiful 😍

I loved everything about this place

Clean & good facilities

None

Perfect location for a weekend gateway. The place is very quiet, clean, super comfy beds - I think we had a best sleep in months! There is everything you need to relax.

Loved using the spa at the back of the house. Good selection of kitchenware/cutlery/dinnerware; had pretty much everything that I needed. Helpful and friendly host.

The dirt roads between the town center and the accommodation were a little bumpy.

Location was great. View was amazing. Super comfy and linen etc was first class.

Could have done with a table and chairs indoors.

Location was unexpected, were expecting seaside location, even though not stated in advertising. Very pleased to enjoy a beautiful modern rural environment & great apartment not far from cafe Bennetts Chocolates. Sea & sea views not far away. Fabulous New World if doing some self catering, wine etc. apartment modern & pristine clean. Bed very comfortable. Safe & secure with a beautiful vista to wake up to. Highly recommend for some leisure time in Mangawhai. Kelly very nice & helpful with info.

Wasn’t expecting dirt road …..soon got over that

Spa, view, tidy room

Stovetop not working

Beautiful location and view, really lovely getaway, would definitely stay again! And absolutely pristine!

Everything exceeded our expectations. The comfort and cleanliness of the accommodation were exceptional making us feel fortunate to stay a night in such a lovely place after a long day of hiking. Wi-Fi, Smart-TV and air conditioner worked flawlessly. The view from the window was nice and refreshing.

A beautiful peaceful place in paradise only a few minutes away from the beach and coastal vibe community. Kelly and Brett are kind hosts and very friendly. We had a fantastic time relaxing and watched shooting stars whilst soaking in the hot tub.

Everything was lovely nothing we didn't dislike.

It’s good place for weekend trip to stay away from busy life. We could have really nice time with excellent view and nice people.

There nothing I didn’t like .

We very much appreciated the super clean and comfortable accommodation .The setting with the rural outlook and the little vineyard and the expansive deck made it very easy to relax and enjoy and the peaceful surroundings .Kelly and Brett were very helpful giving us information before we arrived and super friendly upon our arrival. for a wee rural break away we recommend .Thank U to Kelly and Brett
