Mangawhai is a quiet seaside, small town but it has everything you need for a wonderful seaside holiday. Lovely restaurants, safe boating, absolutely stunning beach for walks. Colourful quintessential kiwi baches are everywhere surrounded by Pohutekawa and other natives trees full of birds.

Kai Iwi Lake which is located 30 minutes by car is so beautiful.
Supahn Thai Restaurant in Dargavill is very nice.

So wonderful being in the middle of a Kauri Forest with the river running through it. The only sound you could hear apart from the birds. A beautiful place to stay. Wish we had another night to unwind there.

A very nice place to stay with everything in excellent condition...the hosts were also very friendly & helpful...the only thing we feel needs addressing are the installing of curtains/blinds above the bed & also above the seating in living area.

Definitely a rural community.
Definitely a rural community. Activities available and the host offered to escort us up the nearby Toka Toka peak. The region offers a sample of New Zealand farm land. It can be as laid back or active as desired

Good central location.
Good central location. We explored the Wetland and used it as home base to explore Pouto Beach and the Beaches along the west coast beyond Dargaville, including the Pouto Lighthouse, Glinks Gully and Baylys Beach. There might be places closer to the west coast, but we booked spontaneously and Paparoa is only a short 45min drive away from Dargaville. The Kauri Museum is just around the corner, too.

Paradise! Such a beautiful clean beach.
Paradise! Such a beautiful clean beach. Great selection of cafes and even a big supermarket now.
Stunning climate and we weren't bothered at all by flies or mosquitoes, which is a definite bonus in a coastal town

Dargaville is a great town.
Dargaville is a great town. Shopping centre is reasonably comprehensive. You need to research things to do. In summer Kai Iwi lakes is a great place to visit, swim, launch your boat ( if you have one) stay in the camping ground or just pitch your own tent. There are plenty of cafes and eating establishments. Research the area and things to do in the area before you go.

Host was accomodating, room wasn't private enough for us as it was positioned next to the shared deck and garden and the sound of people talking and builders next door was quite audible in the unit.
