We really enjoyed staying in this bach. It was super comfortable, clean, and the perfect location. The shower is amazing - I wish mine at home was like this one.

We had a lovely stay in Mangakino. We used the property as a base to visit Waitomo and Rotorua. It was exceptionally clean and welcoming and very well equipped. The owner was very easily contactable and helpful. We found it compact but comfortable for our family of four adults.
