The property had lovely views and was very comfortable and spacious to stay in. The home was well presented. The only negative comment we would make is that the number of notes attached to items within the property seems excessive.

Bob's place is amazing, both the property and the location, and the views. Just exceptional in every way. Tons of room, not so fancy you're worried about damaging anything, and a short walk to the water!!

We keep coming back!

Bob's Mangawhai house is a home we keep returning to. What a location and view? This home has everything you need, it's walking distance via the beach to the village and is great for families. My boys just love playing table tennis downstairs. The house is close to the surf beach and dunes and the view over the estuary is breathtaking. Thank you Bob, and for the Mangawhai Bennetts chocolates you always leave - such a treat!

Absolutely wonderful long weekend

loved this property. Bob was extremely easy to communicate with and the house was exactly as listed. We were 4 adults, 1 infant, and 1 dog and it was very spacious with incredible views. Easy walk to the estuary, and a 2-3 minute drive to the beach. Would recommend, appreciated the little touches amongst the property as well. Thanks for a great stay :)

oh the views!!

I feel conflicted in giving a fantastic review of Bob's property because it will make it all the more difficult to rent in the future! But that would be very unfair on Bob. A fantastic place, great size for our family, amazing location, and the views alone make it worthwhile. you don't need a TV with views like this! Thank's Bob for letting us stay. We will be back.

Everything was just right.

Bob is an excellent communicator and the house is set up well. That we were able to take our beloved black lab was the icing on the cake. Dispatch would be comfortable summer and winter and would accommodate the numbers advertised in the description.

Can't express how happy we were with this home.

The house was well stocked with crockery, cutlery, blankets and seating. We probably didnt move from the deck the first day as the view was amazing. Beds were comfortable and the fact we all had separate bathrooms..priceless! Owner kept in contact regarding rubbish collection and just generally made himself approachable and available should we have needed him. Would absolutely rent again.
