We fell in love with small town living!
As two very 'city' people we are well converted to small town living after staying at this accommodation. The house was beautifully furnished and had everything you could need. It had a beautiful kitchen for cooking your meals each night & living in absolute comfort. Everything is very close by and even though we stayed for the new years period, it was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Our dog loved the yard & happily lay in the sun while we stayed here. If your pup likes to go wandering you need to be careful as theres no close-able gates but lots of passing dogs. We had no issues with this though :) Lots of neighboring bigger towns to adventure to however we spent the majority of our time in Mangakino walking around the lake and enjoying the peace & quiet!

Cool getaway
The host was very accomidating for an early check in ! We loved the vibe of the place and the bed was sooo comfortable. We were a bit disappointed with the cleanlieness of the place - it needs a deep clean to get rid of dust and spiderwebs ! Also the spa pool was a bit of a let down- it had broken pieces in it and did not smell clean ? We also coukd not find any teatowels ?

Lovely bach
The property was just like the photos and we had an awesome stay. The only thing missing from the setup was a microwave which meant we didn’t have enough time to make porridge before our competition. If only we’d noticed earlier! Thanks for having us

Modern and very comfortable
Very clean, warm, comfortable and modern. A tiny hiccup with getting in but quickly resolved. Perfect for 2 couples on a boating weekend. Plenty of parking. Lovely spa pool. Would definitely stay again.

Looks can be deceiving
When we arrived, we did not know what to expect from the property but was was blown away when we entered it. The interior and design of the house is so stylish and all the amenities are high quality. The spa was a huge bonus for us and the location is absolutely fantastic. I will highly recommend this property or as they call it "Mango Magic".
