We enjoyed Mangawhai very much, but will not book this property again. I did not appreciate how I was treated by the host at the end of our stay. Unacceptable.
Barb's batch was exactly as described - clean and comfortable with all the facilities you like to have access to while you re away and close to Mangawhai Village.... Barb was also a very welcoming hostess Had a great time !!
Thank you Barbara! The accomodation was compact & nicely presented. It had everything we needed. It was secure & safe with the gated entry & exit. The front covered deck a lovely space to enjoy outdoor dining & the perfect spot for my Mum to read her book. The beds were comfy & the highlight was the community heated pool.
Hi. We had a great stay, communication with host was excellent and the property was as described with everything we needed. Use of the shared pool was a bonus. Easy walking distance to village and quick drive to the surf beach.
Nice clean bach, everything worked, comfortable, quiet neighbourhood, excellent pool. Bach was water tight and secure even during tornado on 26th Jan. Highly recommended. Barb is a very pleasant host.
Lovely little cabin for a short stay in Mangawhai. Great communication from the host. Very reasonsbly priced with excellent access to the village. 10/10 would stay again.
Great little cosy bach for our little family, good location had pretty much everything you need , the pool was enjoyed by all of us and even though shared wasn't very busy
Well equipped small house with close neighbours, but it was incredibly quiet. Close to cafe and 4 square. There was a local power cut when we arrived and Barb kindly bought a large container of water for our use.
An ideally located cosy cottage in an enclave of similar cottages - in the heart of Mangawhai village - suited perfectly our get away needs close to family that couldnât accommodate us on their property!Occupants of other cottages were very respectful - and despite the cottage to cottage close proximity, noise was not an issue - all very peaceful - helped by Barbâs Cottage being at the rear of the enclave. Will stay again!
We had a lovely stay at Barbs bach, loved the facilities, cute and comfy with everything we needed. Enjoyed a swim in the pool too and it was a great location close to cafe and shops.
We had a great stay , Barb was very helpful in assisting with left behind items ! Good location , a nice walk to the Tavern and cafe . Picnic Bay was beautiful and we enjoyed our morning swims. Pool was nice for the evenings too !
Barb was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, always available if we had any questions or needs. The pool was definitely the highlight, such an absolute pleasure to have a swim in! Barb's hospitality is second to none! Thanks Barb for such being such a wonderful hostess!!
It's a very comfortable bach for a Mangawhai stay. The bonus is the great heated pool and pleasant garden area adjacent to it to relax in. It's an easy walk to the village and all the offerings there.
Barbs is a well kept property that suits two or four for short stay. Its a 7-10 min walk to shopping, entertainment and a drive to reach the beach. Being in a locked community it is quiet and feels safe. Barb was easy to deal with and helpful.The pool is a good temp for out of season swims.
