What a spot! This is a gorgeous little bach right on the harbour with the sound of waves lapping and a little beach almost all to yourselves. There's a bank of old pohutukawa, with a view of the spit through their branches and a little rope swing hanging from them. There's a five minute walk to the surf beach but swimming in the harbour in front is great too. The bach itself is small, but charming, a choice of lovely outdoor seating areas (one all your own which sliding doors open up onto and a couple shared with a group of apartments behind). Everything you need is close by in Mangawhai heads and it's close to some great sightseeing. We loved it and hope to be back! Wendy was very accommodating and helpful, even when I made a mistake with the booking.
