Barb’s Cosy Cottage
An ideally located cosy cottage in an enclave of similar cottages - in the heart of Mangawhai village - suited perfectly our get away needs close to family that couldn’t accommodate us on their property!Occupants of other cottages were very respectful - and despite the cottage to cottage close proximity, noise was not an issue - all very peaceful - helped by Barb’s Cottage being at the rear of the enclave. Will stay again!

Great spot for a relaxing Mangawhai stay
It's a very comfortable bach for a Mangawhai stay. The bonus is the great heated pool and pleasant garden area adjacent to it to relax in. It's an easy walk to the village and all the offerings there.

Great mini break spot for myself and two teens. Two bedrooms with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Covered outdoor area was great for dining outside. Bonus extra is the heated pool which the teens loved. This property is a short walk to the Village for groceries, takeaways or a bit further to the Tavern for dinner. Bennetts chocolate factory is always on our go to list when visiting Mangawhai...only 6 mins walk. Overall this is a great property and situated at the back of the Mangawhai Park so quite peaceful.

We loved our stay here. The cabin has everything you need including aircon which we were very grateful for in the hot summer weather. The pool was our favourite feature and the other residents in the park were very friendly.

Great spot in Mangawhai
Bach is in easy walking distance to shops, cafe and restaurants. Outdoor seating a bonus. Complex (shared) pool is well maintained and clean. Full kitchen and full sized fridge in the bach. Comfy lounge seating. Barb called in to say hi, otherwise a very private stay. Short drive to surf beach and estuary. Thanks Barb, enjoyed our stay.
