The Lakehouse - Mangakino

The Lakehouse - the perfect location in Mangakino. Turn left and a couple of mins walk you will be at the pub and shops, turn right, and 5min later you are at the lakefront and have access to the Waikato river trail.

The Lakehouse has great indoor, outdoor flow with a sheltered covered deck and even a hot outdoor shower.

It has a great backyard and is equipped with the essentials for easy summer holiday living including a BBQ and outdoor dining area for those al fresco meals in the warm summer evening -

A fuss-free stay with everything you need for a relaxing holiday away. Sleeps 10 with 3 bedrooms inside all with queen beds and one room with bunks!

For those who want a bit more privacy or you have more family or friends to stay there is a sleepout in the back yard with a queen bed and couch.

For a refreshing summer escape come stay at the Lakehouse, a great spot for wakeboarding, waterskiing , mountain biking, hiking and exploring the beauty of NZ

Base for Waikato bike trails
Pretty good. Ageing house now used as a bach, with sleepout. Clean, comfortable and well equipped with kitchen basics, BBQ in nice patio is a plus. 4Sq supermarket just around corner. But one loo/bathroom for 8 adults is hard going!

A great base as we explored the area, large lounge and kitchen area, with outdoor options. Slept well each night, great water pressure in the shower. Did we mention the heating, .... perfect as the nights are getting colder.
