Great set up!
There was ample room with decks at front and back of house, the bedrooms were good size and the kitchen had everything we needed, extra fridge outside was a bonus. Unfortunately we felt it was not very clean and we had no tv with error message no reception/satellite. Would definitely stay here again though!

A great place to stay.
An excellent place to stay, great location and proximity to the lake. Needs a hose to wash/clean the boat, to help prevent spread of lake weed and Didymo.

We had a lovely weekend in Mangakino - really enjoyed sitting on the back porch. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The kitchen suited our needs. The extra fridge on the backporch was useful. Thanks!

Enjoyable stay
Good tidy bach, great covered area at the back with a decent size lawn. Marked down 1 star for accuracy of listing only as it said had a DVD player and we brought some new ones to watch, but there wasn't one there. Short walk to the boat ramp and reserve which was great. Thanks
