We have stayed in a number or places in Mangakino and I would have to say this bach has been top notch. Spotless and an abundance of everything a home requires from crocery, glasses , pots and pans, cutlery, cleaning stuff.The deck is a great asset to the home.Wish we could have stayed for a week but unfortuately my children need to come home for work.Will definately check ti see if bach is available next time we come to Mangakino.

Fabulous Stay

This house was perfect for 9 Friends visiting the area doing a walking event. Plenty of room, the outside deck was a wonderful place to relax at the end of the day, having 2 toilets was awesome for 9 women, tidy and clean and easy to access, the communication and instructions from the owners were clear and easy to follow.

Short stay

Really nice place to stay, would recommend. Was however difficult for us to adhere to the cleaning requests of the owners as we had to leave the bach before 7am so as to be in Tokoroa by 7.30( NZ motorcross nationals) one of our group had to therefore dash back and vacuum, clean, make beds etc and then dash back to the competition, not ideal. For the price some of the cleaning could be out sourced, and if we had known that this regime was in place we would have stayed elsewhere as it was not suitable or practical for us.
