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.

Beautiful place with great Customer service

This is a beautiful place to stay with stunning views across the bay if you book a balcony room. Jeanette was excellent and very helpful when our flight was considerably delayed so we didn't arrive until very late. The breakfasts were lovely with plenty of choice. A very nice old colonial style building and the room had tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. All in all I'd highly recommend staying here.

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.

Cozy and Welcoming B&B

Great little cozy B&B right in the heart of Mangawhai. Close to lots of activities, at the beach and in the town. We were so warmly welcomed and felt right at home. Breakfast was amazing each morning! Our room had a lovely balcony and view of the ocean, too bad the weather was terrible so we couldn't sit outside to enjoy it. Smaller room but lots of shared living space in the building. Would definitely return!

Great views and the lodge itself was authentic to the area but it was on a steep hill so difficult re: parking. We didn't know how steep it was until we arrived so had to park on the local streets. It wasn't very clear as to where the office was - no signs etc to direct you. Didn't even know it was a B&B until we got there. A little confusing to be honest as to where do we go once inside the lodge. The host was friendly but needed support at breakfast time. Wouldn't go back again sorry.

Best Views in town

An amazing b&b with the most gorgeous views in Mangawhai. Jeannette's breakfast was top end and she was so lovely and accomodating with local knowledge for me. I was staying up there for 2 nights to look at property in the area. Would happily send friends to stay with her, highly recommend. I added pics of sunrise, sunset and day time - beautiful.

charming B&B.

Beautiful small B&B with excellent view of Mangawhai. Jeannette and Maureen were very helpful with planning local hikes and with dinner suggestions. Breakfast was outstanding. Homemade compotes and yoghurt and eggs a la minute.

Location is excellent, a small market area is a short walk with a 4square and coffee shop.

We enjoyed the two-bedroom unit. Great views and close proximity to Manawhai's Estuary. The unit's kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including a full-size refrigerator. The livingroom furniture has been well-used and was not comfortable to sit on, for us. That would have been more of a problem if we'd stayed longer than one night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great views and generous breakfast

Great views and convenient to beaches and hiking trails. Would have given it highest marks but there is a pervasive smell like wet carpet throughout. It was cold so we had to close the windows so I drenched a cotton ball in fragrance and left it on the nite lite for air freshener. We appreciated the tv room and communal dining room also with great views.
