We enjoyed Mangawhai very much, but will not book this property again. I did not appreciate how I was treated by the host at the end of our stay. Unacceptable.

Thank you Barbara! The accomodation was compact & nicely presented. It had everything we needed. It was secure & safe with the gated entry & exit.

Great little cosy bach for our little family, good location had pretty much everything you need , the pool was enjoyed by all of us and even though shared wasn't very busy

10.0 / 10.0

Well equipped small house with close neighbours, but it was incredibly quiet. Close to cafe and 4 square. There was a local power cut when we arrived and Barb kindly bought a large container of water for our use.

8.0 / 10.0

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!

Barbs is a well kept property that suits two or four for short stay. Its a 7-10 min walk to shopping, entertainment and a drive to reach the beach. Being in a locked community it is quiet and feels safe. Barb was easy to deal with and helpful.The pool is a good temp for out of season swims.

This is a very very small bach Not recommended for family group

10.0 / 10.0

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.
