Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Melanie and Donato's beautiful and peaceful property. Melanie went the extra mile before we arrived to ensure sleeping arrangements were configured to fit our family and guests and it was a perfect set-up for kids. The house, garden, and pool were superb and made for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The view from the house and pool area was magnificent. The al fresco dining area allowed for many enjoyable evening meals for our family and the highlight of our week was the evening we booked Donato to make pizzas in his traditional pizza oven. Mangawhai was a great place for a family holiday with a mix of beaches, vineyards, walks and cafes to cater for everyone's tastes. We highly recommend Melanie and Donato's place.
