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!

A little gem of a place to stay

This is a beautiful place. The property was spotlessly clean, had everything I need for my stay and the shower had amazing pressure. A lovely place for quiet contemplation and reflection.
