Staying at Mabel's was a little bit of a dream come true! On two previous trips to Mangonui, we had driven by her and I thought wouldn't it be amazing...and this trip the timing worked out. She's a quirky place to be sure, but so loaded with charm and character that you'll be hard pressed to want to leave! I'd love to say she's a hidden gem but because of her age and popularity, it's safe to say book her if you get the chance!
Richard is an amazing host - he provided above-and-beyond service (and the wine and fresh bread were a gracious touch as well).
Until we meet again Mabel!
