    Mangrove Bach is a special place. The weather wasn't perfect during our stay, but the place was. We so appreciated meeting the owner and about the history. looking forward to next time.

    As a group we have stayed here before and again it did not disappoint. This is a remote bach and therefore do not expect all the comforts of a major city but that is why we will continue to return. That and the outstanding scenerey, location, access to the epic fishing grounds including the harbour. I live in Whanganui and this trip is well worth the 14 hrs drive, towing a boat. Aware that sounds bizarre but if your a fisherman this location is paradise. Much appreciated to hosts. Lee

    This was our second stay at the Bach and we enjoyed it even more than the last time stayed there. One morning the next door neighbour stopped by with some fresh caught fish and we also got to know the owner’s daughter who is a most interesting and wonderful person. Since last year, the floor as been refinished and a few historical photographs displayed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to return next summer.

    We loved our week at Paua, exploring the harbour and north cape by boat. Thank you to Michelle and family for making this special place available. The bach is simple but has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We look forward to coming back.
