My family and I recently stayed for three nights at Cosy Mangawhai House. It was easy to find just over half way between Mangawhai and Mangawhai Heads. The house had two nice size bedrooms and was exceptionally clean. It was modern and looked less than a couple of years old.
The kitchen was well appointed and had all the modern features. Bathrooms were stylish and clean. Beds were comfortable. Got a bit hot in the afternoon as the hot sun hit the windows but the ceiling fans helped cool things down.
We enjoyed our stay and Mangawhai is a beautiful place to stay.
