The perfect bach
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 really enjoyed the peace and quiet of Mangakino. Janna made our stay super easy and special. We will definitely return and stay here again!

Cozy House
The area and the house are very cozy. The dining room and the balcony welcomed us with a nice sunshine. The house has everything you need (BBQ, HeatPump, Oven, WiFi, TV, etc) and is located meters from the lake. I highly recommend this place if you want to stay on a quiet town.

Cosy cottage
A really well equipped and presented cottage. As we were staying in the midst of winter the heat pump and electric blankets were very welcome. It would work equally well in summer with its bbq, garden and deck. The living room provided great relaxation with its comfy couches and smart TV. It was the ideal place for young children and we felt lucky being able to bring our ageing West Highland terrier. There were added touches like games and puzzles to use. Jonna was fantastic to deal with and responded all queries very promptly.
