Had a lovely stay at Barb's Batch. Nice and comfortable for my family of 4. Kids loved the pool. Bennetts, Mangawhai Domain and Mangawhai Village Shops all within walking distance and a short drive to the newly opened New World Supermarket. As this place is situated in a little park of houses its very safe and family friendly. Really enjoyed our stay and Barb is a fantastic host. Thanks for our stay in Magical Mangawhai we will be back!

Great little bach.
Everything you need for a little holiday away. Everything as described. Heated salt water pool was awesome. Place is quite small but having the covered deck with big table was perfect for reading the paper and family dinners.

Relaxed bach
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.
