Very nice modern home set in a neighbourhood in Mangawhai Heads. The place was inviting and very clean. Does not have a view out to the ocean, and lacks air conditioning, which was not a problem in the main living area and kitchen, but bedrooms get pretty sweltering overnight even with the ceiling fan. Locked cabinets are everywhere which makes it hard to figure out where things are. We had just one towel each in each bathroom, no facecloths, so had to ask for beach towels and extra towels. Only milk and salt provided in the kitchen. Several signs throughout asking to conserve water, which is a bit disconcerting. Maybe would be best just to have one sign asking to conserve water. Did not get to meet the host so all communication was through the Airbnb messaging system.
