Little slice of luxury for a restful weekend away.

Beautiful chalet with everything you need. Love the tranquility of the setting - so peaceful. Beds are super comfy. Only 10 mins from Mangawhai. Sauna in the room.

Nothing really - everything was there was we needed.

10.0 / 10.0

My stay was superb in all aspects, cleanliness, view, serenity. Julia is a generous and kind host.

The location was superb for my travel from Auckland - not to far but far enough to feel well away from the bustle of the city.

Nothing - it was perfect

5.0 / 10.0

Lovely stay with some adjustments for a personal touch

The Villa layout, location, views and in-room sauna

Linen and towelling needs to be washed better as it didn’t smell good. Basic amenities like tissues, milk, continental breakfast offerings would be suggested for the price point and add to certain personalised touchpoints. As cleaning fee is imposed asking guests to remove rubbish should not be required.

6.0 / 10.0

It’s premium accommodation but lack of attention to detail for price.

Beautiful views, clean and comfortable

Nowhere upstairs to store clothes or bags. Accommodation for four adults is quite small but good for a family. The lock on bathroom door and extractor fan not working. Only 3 glasses and 3 forks. Beautiful view and good outdoor seating but cushions weren’t stored so couldn’t sit outside as soaking.

7.0 / 10.0

A beautiful location but somewhat disappointing

We loved the beautiful view out towards Mangawhai Heads, and the peaceful surroundings. The furnishings were clean and modern. The bed was comfortable and the lounge chairs were too. The unit had a very nice deck with comfortable outdoor furniture. The shower was good pressure and easy to adjust to get the right temperature. We liked having a dishwasher.

Our expectations were high because it was advertised as a luxury stay, and priced accordingly. We felt this was misleading. For example, there was a coffee maker and a nice selection of tea bags, but no milk, and no sugar sachets. There was no dining table. Although advertised as two separate bedrooms the unit was in fact open plan, with just a retractable blind separating the lounge area from the main bedroom. The blind only reached 2/3 of the way to the floor. The other bedroom was the mezzanine floor, which also was open to the lounge area below. There were no windows in either bedroom. Although the unit was clean, there were cobwebs on the high ceiling. The bathroom vanity had bright orange packing under one corner, and the bathroom fan didn't work. Some of the wall hooks had come loose. On departure, we were asked to put our rubbish in the wheelie bin at the gate. This was really no trouble, but again we felt it was not consistent with the luxury branding.

Perfect for a night away in Luxury where you can step out of crazy life and unwind

Clean comfortable and so pricey and quiet

Only thing that would have been good is a salt and pepper :) everything else was perfect

Nice group of cabins in hinterland but quite expensive

The Cabin was new and perfect for a couples. The outlook is very plesant and super quiet. Well fitted out (but no clothes washing facility.)

It's a bit remote from nearest town/shops, further to beaches. Going out for dinner is a bit of a drive but impossible. No milk or bottle of wine provided. You have to bring every thing, milk, snacks and meals. No local owner suggestions for restaurants, cafe or beaches. Communication with owner very poor. Contact details on Booking.com is with the previous owner. Hasn't been changed. Over priced for what is effectively a cabin in the hinterland.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely, quiet accommodation

This 2 level mini house was great for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids aged 3y and 8y. Everything we needed was provided, lovely soaps. We didn't see anyone else during our stay, the scenery was lovely. I would stay here again, just need a tall fan for the upstairs bedroom as it was a bit warm.

The upper level where the kids slept was too warm at night even though we had the aircon blasting. A tower fan might help with that.

6.0 / 10.0

Overall we had a good short stay at the villa.

It looks modern and luxury in the picture - nice view and modern bathroom.

Firstly, the host was not responsive to both email and text message before check in. Secondly, the first villa allocated to us was not cleaned when we arrived to check in. Waited for almost two hours to get a response. Finally we were allocated to a different villa. It was cleaned and tidied and the beds were made. However there are some previously broken hooks on the wall are all wobbly. One of the lights upstairs is not working so the area is quite dark for my children. No clothes hangers, tissue box and extra rubbish bags provided. It’s not quite up to the luxury expectations as advertised. Lots of ants on the kitchen

10.0 / 10.0

Really comfortable accommodation for a long weekend away.

Really good communication from the owners. Easy to follow directions for check in. Very comfortable and well appointed rooms.

An indoor cooker would have been good. There was a Weber BbQ though so it would have been easy to cook if we had too.

One of the best in Mangawhai.

The owner was very helpful about locating my phone charger, which I left behind when we left. The villas have beautiful views, are very quiet, with parking nearby, and security, stayed warm, the kitchenette was well stocked, and the dishwasher was very much appreciated. Loved the Nespresso coffee machine!

We would've loved a laundry facility. I hoped for a small workspace/ desk.

3.0 / 10.0

Once we got in it was good.

The location.

The charge of $120 for cleaning. You should change your rates to include cleaning. You can charge more per night for one night, less of the second night, etc, but a ridiculous charge of $120 for cleaning made us feel like we should really leave a big mess behind to warrant such a charge. Having no information about how to enter the property and our place was shocking. It happened that a maintence person turned up and could let us in.

Destitute family

Beautjful, tranquil serene establishment. The facilities were clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a luxuary weekend away.

The communication between the host. We had no warning of the torretial storm that hit Manghwai. We were enroute and no one bothered tp inform us that it was unsafe to travel up north. We ended up been stranded between 2 roads which were floaded and inaccessable. There we were left terrified and destitute. A passerby assisted us and took us in to her home for the evening as we had no where to go. We called and emailed the establishment but to no avail. No one answered. We could not access the proprty on Friday night and during Saturday we were able to check in. The whole experience was terrifying and caused major anxiety. Not what we had in mind when we booked The Pod at The Ridge. We have requested a refund or a complimentary booking in lieu of the trauma. Hopefully the establishment will do the hnourable thing. We could not nake use of the facilities as roads were washed away, TV was not working, outdoor furniture drenched.
