Great country views over the valley.Host very quick to respond.Things to watch out for: The cabin is a converted "trailer", with separate cabin for sleeping, which isn't clear. There is NO shelter from rain in either of these (with no awning/outdoor cover) making it weather dependent.

We have lived in Mangawhai Heads for 6 years enjoying the rural lifestyle. We welcome others to come and experience this beautiful area and all that Mangawhai offers. We have sheep, chickens, friendly dogs and bees that keep us busy! Who knows you may even wish to sample our honey. The cabin is very private and set approx 80 meters from our house so unless you reach out to us we will respect your privacy at all times.
