Even though this accommodation is called The Shack, it is well designed, comfortable and well equipped to be an enjoyable vacation home. I loved the leaded glass window in the bathroom! I appreciated the peaceful and beautiful country setting. Nearby Mangonui village is quaint and scenic. It has a variety of dining options, though cooking meals at The Shack is easy to do, including a normal size refrigerator/freezer and lots of dishes and utensils. Fantastic beaches and other tourist attractions close by. I will remember the amazing sunsets and scenic views from the dining/lounge area windows! Highly recommended as a North Northland tourist base! Garth was so helpful in planning my memorable stay!
