This is a very characterful place to stay. It's been lovingly constructed, mostly with recycled materials, and is very homely. You're off the grid, but have hot water, a great shower, flush toilet and wifi -- how good is that? The house is completely private and nestled in the bush, and has a nice outdoor area. Carla and Alistair are excellent hosts. Would certainly recommend this place as a base for exploring Mangawhai and surrounds.
