Apart from it is neat, refreshing and stylish look, Margaret’s cosy chalet also offers a magical experience of having the view of the estuary and the paddock which are the things you appreciate (and needed) if you wanted to escape the city for a night or two. We were welcomed by Margaret with warm smile as she invited us to dine in her backyard to have a complete experience of “dining with a view.” She’s so lovely and accommodating! Easy to communicate with. Her place is close to almost everywhere - the beach, walking tracks and the chocolate factory/cafe! Thank you, Margaret for letting us stay for another half an hour and for the deets of Mangawhai walking weekend.
