"We loved our holiday at Hiwi. The location is stunning and secluded. The house is charming. We enjoyed it so much we booked for next summer as soon as we returned home."

"Unit was lovely: painstakingly cared for and everything you need. Even accommodated an extra car , which we hadn’t considered. Definitely be back!"

"We enjoyed everything about our stay. Views, tranquility, privacy. Comfy bed, and everything we needed to self-cater for ourselves. An amazing kiwi bach experience, highly recommended."

"Wonderful stay in beautiful country surroundings. Patrick and Anita were very friendly, delightful and helpful as were their sons James and John. Thank you again Patrick and Anita for the beautiful fresh eggs, they were very much enjoyed!! Was very nice meeting them. Rob and Mary"

"Loved our stay it’s a gorgeous spot.. super quiet and zen Feeding the sheep was a cute highlight ❤️ Rudi has the best foodie tips on where to grab a bite thank you for our stay we return rejuvenated !"

"The listing is inaccurate there is no spa, the bbq was so rusty we could not use it. The pillows are so lumpy you could not sleep on them. Only two beds were made up for us despite there being 4 people. The listing didn’t say you share the location with the owner."

"Quaint"

"Lovely stay in Mangawhai."

"Had everything we needed, maybe a washing machine would be good"

"Loved the central location within easy walking distance to the estuary, walkway on the ridge with great views and handy to Wood St shops with groceries, coffee and a range of eateries. A basic kiwi bach but appreciated the full kitchen and good-sized frig/freezer for self catering and the comfortable beds."

"Thanks for a fabulous weekend break! Clean, tidy, comfortable beds and plenty of games for the kids. 3minute walk down a track to the sea, ideal for beachy days."

"The stay was good but, the place could have done with a bit more cleaning and airing out. It smelt stale and there were cobwebs in the bedrooms. I fixed the back shower by screwing up the nut so the shower head would stay up. There was a need for better lighting in the kitchen so we replaced the missing light bulb with a bulb from the back bedroom. We left a note on the table for the owner."

"Stunning location and views! Can’t fault the property"

"Great location for our needs, it had everything we needed."

"Had a lovely stay. So close to the beach lagoon. Would definitely go there again if available."

"The parking lot is very spacious and the garbage is comfortable. Also, there was a Ruakaka stream in front of the garden, so it was good as a healing point. If there is a heat pump, it will be a recommended accommodation for four seasons that I really want to visit even in hot summer and cold winter."

"Excellent living area and location"
