“My four sisters and I had a wonderful 4 days at Kristina’s classic and comfortable New Zealand beach house. Stunning views, fab beach side location, well equipped kitchen, great WiFi with everything we needed (including Netflix:) and just a 2 hour drive from Auckland. We appreciated the three bathrooms and bedrooms as well as the communication with Kristina. Mangawhai has a great surf beach as well as an estuary for swimming. Funky shops and a Saturday morning market, a tavern on the water and a chocolate factory that must be visited. Though sitting on the deck from breakfast to dinner is quite enough looking over the sea and hearing the ocean in the distance. ”
