Clean bach with all the conveniences for a comfortable stay.
Was a lovely clean and tidy bach and nice location but the photo of the view is unfortunately no longer there as this has been completely built out, so that just needs updating as sadly there is no longer that view.

We’ll be back
We often stay in Mangakino with our hydroplane racing and this is by far our best experience of a rental batch. So clean and tidy. Everything you need, and the beds are very comfortable. Walking distance to the lake. Thank you!

Perfect base for exploring the lakes
Had the best stay at the batch, house has absolutely everything we needed and the access to extra water sports gear was a treat! Only one small down side was that the house was not clean when we arrived. The previous guys had left their rubbish :(

Long Weekend Stay
We were asked if we could move to another property a few days before which we were told was very nice, and it certainly was. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and Grant was very easy to deal with and got back to our messages quickly. I will be in contact if we come to stay again. Thanks

This bach is an absolute gem. It is clean, well equipped and nicelynd will recommend it to anyone.
While Mangakino might not be everyone's idea of a holiday town unless you are a 'boatie', compared with Auckland it is quiet and peaceful. The bach fits very nicely into this environment.

Exceptionally clean. Great spaces. Tasteful decor. Secure for the dogs.
Had a really good stay. Only gripe would be request to take our rubbish away as i would assume owners pay rates for this service. Otherwise all positives.
