Come and enjoy Magical Mangawhai. Our beautiful new, contemporary 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom self contained accommodation. Set in a semi-rural location with plenty of parking for the boat or trailer.

Ist book a bach
This was our first time with book a Bach and we were not disappointed. The unit was modern, clean and a pleasure to stay in. Basics (tea,coffee etc) were supplied and there was even a wonderful tray of fruit. We were greeted by Amanda and she was just lovely and so helpful. A wonderful stay.
