Mangonui

We give Kaitaia a miss as it didn’t inspire any desire to return on our way through earlier in the day.  We take the coast road and head for Mangonui.  It’s been a long but lovely day and looking for somewhere to stay starts to be annoying.  WH finds the Waterfront Apartment motel, does some reconnaissance, then books a room with a view.  It’s raining again and getting dark and I won’t tell the story about how I didn’t like the stairs in that particular split level apartment and WH moved us to a really cute, bathroom on the same level one and I feel older than I am.

In this very small town our dinner options were quite amazing.  There is the world famous Mangonui fish and chips,  the local pub fare looked enticing but straight underneath us  is the waterfront cafe which due to the time of night and the length of the day seems perfect.  It doesn’t disappoint as I have the pan seared snapper with caper sauce and WH has the lamb rack.  We even have brandy snaps for dessert and all is well with the world.

The morning breaks and it’s stunning.  I ache for my camera as the light is perfect and every moment feels that it’s at its very best.   All the photos on today’s (and every days) are taken on my phone so it’s literally point and shoot.

It’s hard to take yourself away from the ordinary being extraordinary.

Morning walk Mangonui boardwalk

Watching the sun rise, following the John Dory and stingrays around the board walk, hearing the fishing boats get ready at the wharf,  I can only say that everyone’s bucket list must include Mangonui.  Go. Stay at the Mangonui Waterfront apartments.  Eat pan fried snapper at the Waterfront cafe.  Get coffee from the Little Kitchen and maybe even stay another day and have fish and chips as well.
