The property was clean and simple. We have a 1 year old and didn’t have to move too much to make it baby safe. Recommended if you have young ones.

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.
