We’re excited to welcome you to our relaxed holiday home — the perfect spot for families, friends, and anyone keen to enjoy lake life. Tucked away on a quiet street, it’s all about easy holidays, outdoor fun, and good times together.
The house comfortably sleeps up to six guests, with two queen beds and a double bunk, and is thoughtfully set up with families in mind. It’s fully fenced for peace of mind, and we’ve included toys and kid-friendly touches to help keep little ones entertained while you relax.
Outside, enjoy alfresco dining — ideal for long summer evenings after a day on the lake. If water sports are your thing, you’ll love the easy boat parking and how close you are to the lake for wakeboarding, swimming, and boating. There’s plenty of space to park up, rinse off, and unwind at the end of the day. For golf lovers, we’re just a stone’s throw from the clubhouse and the lovely local course.
The home is comfortable, practical, and designed for stress-free stays — whether you’re after adventure or a slower-paced escape. With Mangakino’s laid-back vibe, scenic river trails for walking and cycling, lake access, and fantastic outdoor activities nearby, it’s an easy place to relax and make lasting memories.
