Although I'm not usually a fan of B&B's, Jeanette was an excellent hostess. The property is very clean and comfortable and has a beautiful view and excellent breakfast. She provided us with a lot of information for things to do and places to see along our travels. It's within walking distance to shops and restaurants as well. I would definitely stay there again.

We were fortunate to book this little place at the last moment right on New Years. We only wanted a couple of nights away without having to travel too far. Jeanette is a lovely host, very kind and very helpful.

Stay at Mangawhai Lodge

It was a very nice stay in the Lodge. Our manager was Jenette was helpful and kind and the room was immaculate. The view from our room was beautiful and morning breakfast was just right to start the day. Apart from the road works that was happening at the time of our stay it was recommended a good stay. Loved that the Lodge was close to a good walk to the beach and to shopping facilities.

If you have the chance to stay at the Mangawhai Lodge, don't hesitate to book. We enjoyed every aspect of our recent two day stay with Jeannette serving as an excellent host. Our room looked out at the ocean and the beach was a short walk away. Restaurants are also close by with an impressive range of choices for a small village. Our only mistake was not booking at least another night.
