We absolutely loved Carmel’s place. Spotlessly clean, super close to the estuary and Mangawhai shops, and a very easy quick drive to Surf Beach. The house was super comfortable with new carpet and curtains and couch, with comfortable new beds and had everything you could want for a superb beach bach. Carmel and Ryan were amazing hosts - responsive and super friendly, the Wifi was excellent and the smart TV was awesome. The outside veranda was an excellent added bonus and the garden was lovely - perfect for Pétanque (bring your own). Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks Carmel and Ryan.
