Absolutely stunning!

One of the cleanest properties I've ever stayed in. Excellent communication from the get go. Claire and Mark were also very accommodating of last minute changes and an earlier check in time. Beautiful and quiet setting, also has an amazing sunrise spot out on the front deck. I would, without hesitation recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the beautiful Northland.

Thanks for the great review Megan. You were easy guests to have, and we welcome you back at any time. We enjoy that spectacular sunrise view too, and never tire of the peaceful surroundings. This is a great base for exploring the Whangarei Heads area and places further north.

Awesome place for a group

We were two families holidaying together. We loved the space, especially the outdoor undercover area. The house was very well equipped and lovely and clean. The location was great with many walks and beaches not too far away. Having younger children, it would have been good to know the bunkroom is not accessible from inside the house, otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your review and feedback about the bunk room. In future I will pass that on to groups who book with children. I appreciate you leaving everything so tidy and organised. Cheers, Claire

Manaia Weekend

Arrived to an immaculately presented property, that was even better than the pictures showed. Our Host's, Claire and Mark, where a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a success. Although the weather didn't behave our weekend was still a success. We will be back.
