Mangatangi lake rentals

The place is quite easy to find. We met Pete up the driveway to the house. We found him very obliging, friendly and informative, great person. The property was even better than we imagined. the house was very clean, spacious, well furnished, all the amenities you could possibly need and amazing views. We absolutely loved our stay and it felt really homely. We didn't really want to leave and will recommend to other friends of ours.

Beautiful and clean, also had lots of towels and only saw the host once accidently in passing. Wasn't bothered by host through messages or presence. Had sky sport which was a huge bonus

Location great, cleanliness great, provisions great, access great, nothing about the property could be faulted. Property owner was well prepared and friendly when we arrived, communication before arrival was excellent. The only (very very minor) request for improvement would be a light on the sign on the road, we returned at night and struggled to locate the entrance confidently in the dark. Noting this did not detract from the stay in the slightest.

Jenny was a lovely host who contacted us by phone before our scheduled stay to share details of the b-n-b. Did we like the A2 milk which they sourced from a nearby farm? Did we have any special dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, and so on. Just generally we had a good chat so that it was a pleasure to meet her in person finally and to be greeted with bowls of fresh fruit from the property, and Jenny's sourdough bread when he say down to breakfast in the morning. We stayed overnight in this nicely outfitted b-n-b to attend a party about 6 km distant at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. We'd recommend this b-n-b and can we also recommend a visit to the shorebird centre. It has hides for viewing a wide range of shorebirds, and in particular does international work to preserve the feeding grounds along the shores of the Yalu River - part Chinese, part North Korean - for the godwits as they journey each year from New Zealand Aotearoa to Alaska to breed. I think Jenny sometimes does voluntary work down at the centre. I met Maarten the day of our departure, - a musician, and we had a good chat around that. Interesting that he works with sound, because perhaps the dominant feeling we took away from this lovely Waitakaruru property was how silent the night was. A quiet boon for suburban Aucklanders . . .

Amazing place for the family. Highly recommended for larger groups especially.

Lovely property and view. Hosts have done an amazing job of creating a welcoming place to stay with every need catered for

This is a clean, well appointed bach in a beautiful location. Spectacular views across the Firth of Thames. Highly recommend!

Thank you for ease of access and well ressourced kitchen. I havn't used bookabach before and found talking with you difficult in early part of the booking process. We were worried about the sagging bathroom floor. Overall a big thank you Marion
