Book a Mangarakau Cottage

"Location and views were amazing. House had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing stay. "

"A beautifully curated property in an enviable position, exactly what we were looking for. Everything you need for a peaceful break is here, including an old school Pye record player 70s vinyl. Special shout out to the Pacifica vibe. A special place in which to sooth your soul. "

"We enjoyed another wonderful stay. The bach was perfect. Loved the native birds, tūīs, wood pigeons, fantails in the avenue and garden. A very special place. Thank you "

"Could not ask for better, charming atmosphere, hospitable host. "

"We've staying in this stunning house several times and it's always the perfect experience. It has everything you need and more and is in the most incredible location. There is nowhere better - THANK YOU!!! "

"This house in the perfect location and a lovely design. However it's very tired and needs some serious love.If I had paid perhaps up to 400 per night this would have been somewhat acceptable but to pay over 700 night was exorbitant!It was booked a few weeks beforehand which left me with very minimal choice, however the photos left me with the impression that it was a well maintained property."

"The place was clean and tidy, well set up for a large group. Sadly my Dad and I arrived late at night so didn’t get to really experience the property much but I could imagine it being a wonderful escape for a big family or group of friends to enjoy. Walking distance to shops, cafes and the local pub/restaurant as well as the Farewell Spit tour company (which is why we were late arriving). Great backyard and access to water for kayaking or swimming. The hosts were quick and thorough in their responses so I felt good about booking with them."

"Great property that was exactly as presented on-line. Clean, warm, well appointed and it was great to have things like tea and coffee and cooking oil. Loved it"

"A beautiful chalet in a beautiful setting, with all the comforts of home. Well worth the drive."
