We were lucky enough to stay here for 3 days
Lovely room with direct access to balcony.
Jeanette was an amazing host and made us feel welcome 
Beautiful breakfasts and lovely lounge and dining room
We throughly enjoyed our stay and will come back

Spotlessly clean and a beautiful host

The lodge has big estuary  and sea views, so it is great to sit on the deck and see what is happening out there.
Jeannette is very hospitable and we enjoyed chatting with her and other guests over a lovely cooked breakfast.
The room was cosy and well equipped.

Lovely view and hostess

A ground old house with wrap around decks, all day sunshine and stunning sea views. We stayed in the Clipper room and there is another next door. Pretty central, a two minute walk to the small village and golf club and a few minutes by car to the various beaches ( Lang’s was our favourite)
Our host pitched up on the first day with a full English breakfast, very rare nowadays and a real treat. Jeanette is a fountain of knowledge so listen to her advice as she points out the fabulous places to visit. Overall an excellent and peaceful couple of days - thank you. Enjoy......

A lazy weekend in Mangawhai.....

Let’s begin with the positives - a reasonable sized kitchen; you could prepare your own simple meals here. Good wifi; no air conditioning but lots of fans. Plenty of mirrors, and a single bed in the living space mean you could have a couple and a child stay in the unit. Quiet, parking right outside our unit. 
But definitely not what the label promised. Lovely photos of an old house with big balconies offering views - the views must be amazing but we never got to see them. We were assigned a two room unit downstairs at the back, adjacent to the carpark. Tired, a mishmash of bits and pieces, no attention to detail (for example, an old cushion and towel on top of the bookcase gathering dust), lots of “signs” and instructions stuck on the walls, fridge, even the bathroom mirror. A disability-access bathroom; a feeling of being in a retirement unit and definitely smelt like one. Not pleasant. 
We appeared to be the only ones staying; maybe they didn’t want to pay cleaners public holiday rates and so we got the only room that hadn’t been let out over the long weekend?  No ability to even go upstairs and sit on the balcony. The location wasn’t good either. Cannot easily walk to the beach, it’s about a 10 minute walk along the main road to the small collection of shops, but definitely a drive to the cafes, chocolate factory etc at Mangawhai Heads. 
Most expensive accommodation of our holiday and the least impressive. Fortunately the rest of the trip went very well and this was the only poor accommodation. 


Over-promised and under-delivered 

Our host Jeannette could not have been more helpful. The breakfasts (cooked and fresh) were fantastic and the view from our balcony was wonderful. Highly recommended ! Great location and parking provided.

Outstanding

from the spacious two bedroom apartment with private wrap around veranda. Restaurants only a 10 minute walk but why go further? Grab a takeaway and enjoy with a couple of bottles of wine on your veranda. Clean and a warm welcome from your host, Jeanette. Well equipped and there is everything you need in your big apartment which has a separate living room/diner with a couple of sofas and a separate kitchen. There's a telly (who needs that in Aotearoa with the endless commercial breaks ruining a good drama!?) DVDs and a small library. There is an odd notice however that welcomes you to read the books but it's not a swap or to take away which renders the library somewhat otiose don't you think, bearing in mind the short stay most guests would have? Your big wrap around veranda is also well provided with comfortable chairs, tables and a comfy sofa. Dedicated on site parking. Communal bbq. 

The views,

View was amazing over the Pacific Ocean from the upstairs balcony. Breakfast was amazing, fresh fruit, cereal and a hot selection offered by Jeanette. Very happy we went off the main highway and found this gorgeous township and B & B

Fantastic

I would highly recomend this as a quite getaway for business or pleasure 
Very friendly walm welcome 
Very comfortable 
Great cooked breakfast 
Awesome view great deck to sit on and soak up the view
Has separate lounge and dining rooms also with the same view
If you want a room with a view stay here

Great place to stay 

Stayed last night, cozy and private aprartment beautiful views, wonderful host!  Modern furnishings, the bed was amazingly as close as you can get to sleeping on a cloud. Absolutely would stay again!!!

Cozy escape

We stayed here for an overnight stop on the way back to Auckland from Paihia. The lodge sits on an elevated position. We had a lovely room with fabulous views. Everything in the room was excellent and the breakfast excellent too. The owner was very informative and helpful. Would like to have stayed longer.
