Thank you so much, Giselle - we’re really glad you enjoyed your stay.
It means a lot to hear you loved the freshly renovated bach and felt well looked after. We hope it felt like a relaxed and welcoming holiday escape in Mangawhai.
Thanks again for choosing The Bach in Mangawhai - we’d love to welcome you back anytime in the future.
We had a great stay at the Bach. It’s located just a few hundred steps from the estuary, which was popular with both locals and visitors for swimming. The property is also close to the town centre, where there are a couple of lovely cafés — perfect for an early morning coffee walk.The accommodation itself was well furnished and very comfortable, with quality bed linen and towels provided. The kitchen was well equipped and included a pod coffee machine, making it easy to prepare meals. We used the BBQ on our first night, which was perfectly adequate, and the covered deck was ideal for outdoor dining.The owners also provided lawn games, which we made great use of and really enjoyed.One small suggestion would be to add steps on either side of the deck, not just at the front, as the current layout could be a potential safety hazard for small children.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.⸻

Thank you so much for your lovely review — we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the location, amenities, and outdoor spaces, and that the lawn games and deck were well used. We also really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the deck access. Guest safety is very important to us, we plan to install hedging along the open edge of the deck to provide a natural barrier and clear visual boundary. This work is weather-dependent and must be carried out during suitable conditions. At present, we are in a dry season, and planting at this time would likely result in the hedging failing. We will proceed with planting once there is sufficient wet weather to ensure proper establishment.
Thanks again for your lovely review - we would love to have you back anytime. Glenn & Kylie
