Family fun

Very well equipped, warm and cosy wee bach. The kids were thankful for the extensive dvd collection and games as we had rain. When it stopped we enjoyed the perfect lawn for outdoor games. Amazing shower! Thanks for having us.

Great location and summer property

Was a great little place and good location. Would be a fantastic summer house with the big decking out the back. We staying in the middle of winter and there was plenty of firewood for the log burner and heaters in each room, so we were plenty warm enough. The bathroom has been upgraded and is lovely with a huge shower. We were a group of 6 adults, and with having the bunk beds (sturdy wooden bunks would be a better option than the ones there), I opted to sleep on the fold out sofa in the foyer rather than the top bunk. Would be more suited to 4 adults and children.

About the host

Hosted by Viv Bradley

We love Mangakino and have been holidaying there for almost 20 years. We invite you to enjoy the quintessential kiwi bach holiday experience. Mangakino is almost like walking back in time. What we call baches today, were once small homes built for single men or married couples, for those who were employed to build the Dam; there's much to discover about the area.

Why they chose this property

Our bach is a real cutie; we've worked hard over the years to make it comfortable and easy to live in while staying true to some of its original decor like the 70s kitchen wallpaper, duck egg blue bathroom and inherited crystal cabinet. Sanding/carpeting the floors is our last big job to do. The water pressure is wonderful (yummy after a day in the water) and we love the back deck, which extends to the funky monopitch cabin.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of this kiwi bach is having separate sleeping areas to suit. Six guests can stay which can be a mixture of children and adults, or just adults. There are two Queen beds. One is inside the bach with the single bunks in a separate room; the other Queen bed is in the new cabin. Some couples sharing the bach enjoy privacy, or teenagers who want space can stay inside the bach with parents in the cabin; or put grandparents in the cabin; it's easy to mix it up to suit. The backyard is fully fenced and our awesome border collie dog stays, so you can rest assured the backyard is secure for kids and animals. We are happy for you to bring your dog /s or cats with prior approval. Note there is an extra cleaning fee for pets.
