About this property

Mangonui Rustic Dream

The bach is a typical very rustic kiwi family bach set back on a hill with clear views across the harbour to Mangonui. This bach is definitely not the silver service of bach s but has what is required to have fun and enjoy the sunny north.
It is very private and away from the mading crowds but a short drive to the beachs and in the evenings fantastic views across the harbour.
Has a detached area from the main building for the sleeping accommodation with kitchen and dinning area. There is one tiled toilet and shower off the kitchen.
Has pool table and clear open plan living area to lounge away those hot days when you need a break from the sun. There is a large tower/balcony with stair access to enjoy those evening meals watching the harbour.
Has large open space for games and plenty room to park vehicles or boats also has flat area for tents. We have camped more people in tents but we would need to discuss this if required.
The bach is on tank water and has filter for drinking,10 minutes to Mangonui Village and Whangaroa Golf Course.

Peaceful paradise
My partner and i had a great stay at Gregs property. The cabins had everything we needed to enjoy all the wonderful things northland has to offer. We loved how quiet and peaceful the property felt. Our dogs also enjoyed having so much space to run around. Greg was easy to communicate with and very accomadating. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful location for stargazing
We really enjoyed our stay. Greg was easy to deal with, accommodating with our requests and prompt with his response. It was a last-minute trip that we manage to book and enjoyed our time.

Great views and location
It is a great trouble-free place with plenty of room for a family of four. Having the bedrooms detached from the living, kitchen, bathroom was okay for us as we had good weather. Great place for it's price.

Value for money
Basic kiwi batch 5 mins from Mangonui. Lovely views back over the harbour and a very quiet and relaxing spot. Bach is basic but has all you need with a good gas BBQ. No shade outdoors so best bring your own as can get very hot in summer. Not suitable for boats due to driveway with overhanging trees. Despite advice saying there are washing facilities in the area - there are not. Nearest is probably Kaitaia or Kerikeri (Z Taipa does not offer) so washing your boat is a nightmare. Could be a bit cleaner but overall was good value for money over the New Year period.

Nice location and outlook
A nice location in the hills overlooking Mangonui. Standard accomodation without being fancy. Be aware, no TV (it's not listed, but you may take it for granted), or Wifi (not a surprise as the property is up in the hills). The Lounge/ Kitchen unit is separated from the Bedroom unit by a 20m walkway, not a big deal, but not apparent in the listing.

Great location
Definitely not the Ritz but more Run down than “rustic”. All surface areas were clean but the place could definitely do with a more thorough clean more often as we had to dust and vacuum the living and sleeping quarters especially to try and get rid of a stubborn stench. Didn’t work. The main living quarters(kitchen/bathroom/lounge area) had a broken lock on it which was unnerving and we tried to contact the owner about and left messages etc but got no reply. Thankfully the sleeping quarters locked so we kept our valuables in there. Apart from this we still enjoyed our time in the area we loved the location and being close to all the beaches we adore.

Great location nice and private
Really neat spot with great views to come back and chill out at after that day of adventuring. Great location less than a 10 minute drive to the beach & 5 minutes to Manganui. Loved our stay, just needed an umbrella to be able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting. We will be back!

NOT A DREAM
We left 1 day earlier due to the following, no tv or radio, this is standard with all accommodations, should of showen a true picture of the batches e.g. a 20 mtr walk at night on a unlit broad walk for batheroom and toilet facilities, lovely in the ran, not, I noticed a infants potty in bedroom, perhaps you use this when it rains, I last used one of these 78 years ago, The Water, tasted funny, if you took the steps to the veiwing platform you will notice the condition of all the spouting that collets the rain water, has not been cleaned for many years, not suitable for consumption, cockroaches in bedroom, plus many ants in kitchen area, not inviting, and up to a meter high of grass around the 2 batches, a very real fine danger, no hose or extinglishers available, a disaster. would not recommend, main photo just shows the view, drive way in is a goat track
