Waipoua Lake House (by the lake)

Beautiful (newly renovated Sep 2023) bach with new kitchen and bathroom. If you're looking for a peaceful, light and bright bach to kick back and relax in very peaceful surroundings then Waipoua Lake House is the place for you!

Note: Linen and cleaning is available at $100 extra per booking - just mention you'd like this option when you book, otherwise it's BYO linen (towels/sheets/pillowcases/tea towels) and do your own cleaning.

If you're looking for space for a bigger group, Aranui Lake House is right next door (available for rent on a separate listing).

Lovely place to stay
We had a lovely stay in Mangakino. The house has everything we needed as a family and plenty of toys/games for the kids. Awesome back deck to sit and enjoy the evening on. Lovely and clean too. We would definitely stay again.

It was pretty good !!!
Newly renovated and nicely decorated, but it listed that one of the rooms had 3 beds and only had a bunk bed & that there was a “hotub”… it had a lovely big bath in a beautiful bathroom but not a hot tub (maybe just wrong on the booking sites information, the emailed info didn’t say it). And the dishes/cutlery weren’t the cleanest- could be from the last guests? But I’d say definitely worth the price and description, lovely large yard excellent communication with owner the house accommodated all my needs (excluding the booking sites description)

Birthday getaway
A few comments were a little harsh, we found this place perfect and definitely excellent value for money! The renovations done are pretty good, double glazing, new carpet, new kitchen, bathroom and even Netflix. The bed were great and a great layout for a family trip! Summer will be amazing in this house. We had our Dog with us and she met one of the locals which was sooo funny, a little bulldog. Thanks Grant, youve done a great job :-)
