About this property

The reviews say it all! A blissful bach, & pet friendly!

Waipoua Lake House is a well-apportioned, recently renovated, light and bright bach in a peaceful location. You can kick back and relax with an easy stroll to the lake / boat ramp, lake front reserve or the local shops.

“We had a great trip to Mangakino, was a bonus that we could bring our furry friend Jack. Tidy fully fenced section and well appointed cute home with everything we need.”

Note that all linen and cleaning is included ($100 per booking).

Aranui Lake House is next door if you need more space - on another listing.
