Mangles is fantastic. The house is nice and beautiful with full of wooden floor, and the vintage furniture are lovely. There are 3 bed rooms and we love them all . The swing on rear deck is also lovely during afternoon and morning to chil and relax. Living room with fireplace was the most favorite room to relax while listening to music at night, it was amazing experience yet romantic for us who come from tropical country 😁. Julia is very nice and always want us to be as comfortable as possible, easy to communicate with, responded very quickly and she provided us with extraordinary stuffs such as milk, jams, honey, milo and even wine.. at the very complete and nice kitchen. It is too bad we only stay one night here on the way we go back to Jakarta. We were on our last leg of our campervan tour across NZ and we really need a nice clean place to rest and also park our Campervan. Mangles is just the right place. It is lovely and highly recommended place to stay if u want to stay in the countryside but not too far away (15 minutes) from Christchurch.
