This place is absolutely tops and Annette a true star host. We felt comfortable and spoiled in this modern cottage-on-a-hill with views of the ocean and floor to ceiling windows, fab shower, decks, and lawn. Annette shared local olive oil, lemons and tips about secret beach access points, as well as bringing over bocce ball and croquet for us to use on the lovely lawn in front of the cottage. Mangonui is remote, but cute and the beaches in all directions minimally used and gorgeous, with aqua water and powdery sands. You are lucky to stay here should you get the opportunity. She set the bar for AirBnB hosting.
