We had a wonderful time at Paul and Barbara’s - the location is harbour-front with a lovely view, the apartment was spotless and we really appreciated the amenities and thoughtful touches provided. The lockbox check-in was seamless and communication with the hosts was excellent.

As a couple, we just used the upstairs area and the other rooms were locked off during our stay.
The beach was a 2-minute walk away and the little Heads township was a nice 25-min walk (Mangawhai itself is a 10-min drive). We highly recommend the Mangawhai Cliffs Walkway which is one of the most stunning short walks we’ve done (took about 2hrs30). We also enjoyed the Saturday market next to the Mangawhai pub.
We’re looking forward to hopefully spending more time there in the future and will recommend it to all of our friends who are heading away on Northland roadies.
