Jean and Yancee, Thank you so very much for the very memorable time we had while staying at the Manor ! We arrived at the Manor and greeted with big smiles and shown to our rooms fairly quickly, no questions asked we got the top of the stairs and there was just the most beautiful 360 view which we enjoyed while spending time in the crystal blue swimming pool on the roof top. There was everything you needed there from a fully equipped kitchen, own bathrooms, massive beds, fridge in your room, outside tables and chairs, bbq area, Marquee plus more. we were invited to do some wine tasting and learn about the Bonificateur ADAGE which we landed up purchasing one because of many reasons which Jean explained and we learnt first hand about, we laughed about it until one bottle went thru the machine we could not even stomach the before tester it was just AMAZING! we yet to use ours for tea and look forward to enjoying that too!! thank you again guys I really really loved our time there and hello to Baby girl I missed seeing her face when we left she is so cute and friendly =-) Roxanne & Blair Paladin

Notre séjour a commencé il y a un mois par un trajet depuis l'aéroport d'Auckland où Jean est venu nous chercher dans une magnifique Citroën de collection. Nous ne devions rester que 10 jours, mais après quelques imprévus nous avons prolongé notre séjour jusqu'à aujourd'hui, soit un mois ! L’accueil a été formidable tout au long du séjour dans un cadre incroyable avec une vue à 360° jusqu'à la mer! Nous avons profité de la piscine, du terrain de tennis ainsi que du billard et des dégustations de vins remarquablement traités avec le Bonificateur ADAGE de Jean. Nous avons également fort apprécié les bons petits plats de Yancee. C'est un endroit très calme où il fait bon de se reposer après une exploration de la région (ou un long voyage!). Un grand merci à Yancee et Jean que nous espérons revoir très bientôt dans leur manoir! Antoine & Céline Dominique Our stay began one month ago after a ride from Auckland Airport where Jean picked us in a magnificent vintage Citroen car. Primarily we intended to stay only 10 days, but inforeseen circumstances had us to extend our stay until today, one month then ! We had a huge welcome all along our stay in an incredible spot with 360° views to the sea ! We benefited from the swimming pool, the tennis court and the pool table, as well as wine tastings remarkably processed with Jean ADAGE Bonificateur. We also enjoyed hugely the nice little meals of Yancee; What a peaceful place where to rest after discovery of the region (or after a long flight!) Many Thanks to Yancee and Jean that we hope to visit again very soon in their manor ! Antoine & Céline Dominique

We recently stayed with Jean and Yancee at their Manor in Mangawai, I would like to express my thanks for their hospitality and the friendly atmosphere that they create, the accommodation was outstanding and extremely comfortable I would particularly like to mention the wines that accompanied the meals ,some of the remarkable examples were Lalande De Pomerol 2005 and the Corbieres Castelnaure 2004 which Jean recommended, both were outstanding . I also would like to comment on the Cold brewed Strawberry Mango tea that Jean produced from a benification device , a Boufralier Adave which producers an amazing result through ultrasonic treatment. All in all I could not recommend this accommodation and hospitality more highly, My wife and I are en route to Australia and when returning would not hesitate to stay again with Jean and Yancee Byrne and Celi Cardwell
