Mangawhai Lodge was idyllic! We were treated to the Heritage suite that felt like a superbly comfortable home. We were so entranced with the majestic view, we couldn't leave our balcony. Wonderfully, friendly helpful staff. Thanks Maureen We'll be back!

We enjoyed the two-bedroom unit. Great views and close proximity to Manawhai's Estuary. The unit's kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including a full-size refrigerator. The livingroom furniture has been well-used and was not comfortable to sit on, for us. That would have been more of a problem if we'd stayed longer than one night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Im sorry you did not find the sofa's to your liking we use leather as it is easier to clean and more durable. But we do leave a throw for those who prefer to sit on fabric

You must have booked the Clipper B&B room, that room has a private bathroom opposite the room which is dedicated for the Clipper guests. We do try and make it clear that it is not ensuite. So hope your were not too disappointed. Thanks Jeannette
