About the host

Hosted by sara marsden

Host profile image
We love traveling and spent many years working together in the yachting industry overseas. Hamish is originally from the UK and I grew up in Kapiti. Magical Mangawhai is now our home along with our daughter Lily and dog Cookie who loves to greet you at our gate for a few pats. We live on the property a few minutes walk up the hill, if you require any information we are happy to help.
We built and designed these cottages with a lot of thought and care to create a special space that's inviting and tranquil and made with love.

Why they chose this property

The special native bush clad valley is very beautiful and lush, we had to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Private and quiet space to enjoy each others company. No TV distractions but free wifi available.
