Hi, thanks for your review; you mentioned that my communication could be better - could you let me know how I can improve with that, as I constantly get 10/10 for that, so just be helpful to know what I can tweak ... thanks!

Lots of work has gone it into this place and it shows. Wonderful to have a fully fenced yard for the dogs too. Keen to stay again and maybe bring the family next time.

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.
