Our weekend in Mangawhai
Was even better than expected. The top house housed us all for meals and activities. The younger ones occupied the sleepout which worked extremely and friends, fortunately all short were in the basement. Beautifully sunny and bright upstairs

Lovely summer getaway
This property was was extremely well equipped for the group, especially the kitchens. Host communication was excellent and instructions were thorough. Just to note the basement is separate from upstairs (no stairs in between) which may or may not be ideal for other groups. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay here.

Good for lots of people
We had a big group - grandparents, adults and grandkids. Great having 3 separate areas (upstairs, downstairs and sleep out). The kitchen, dining and lounge in the upstairs area is a great size for everyone to eat and socalise together. Well stocked kitchen items. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Geoff.
