Mango Bach was perfect for a summer break. Short stroll to lake reserve, golf course & local shops. Comfortable, with a great outdoor area to relax out of the sun. Our host Viv was so easy to deal with. Responded to requests promptly.Would definitely return & recommend as a place to stay.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and delayed reply. Given that it was winter, the BBQ must have been locked away in the garage. Otherwise, we are glad you found the bach very relaxing and hope you come again (with access to a BBQ!).
