Aranui Lake House (by the lake)

Aranui Lake House is a well-apportioned, sunny bach with a big back yard for the kids to run around on with a trampoline. Clean and tidy with super comfy beds - read the reviews! It's a 2-minute walk to the lake front. Relax on the beautiful back deck at the end of your days of activities in the area.

If you're a larger group and need another bach, check out the next door property, Waipoua Lake House, which is just as comfortable.

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

Clean bach with all the conveniences for a comfortable stay.
Was a lovely clean and tidy bach and nice location but the photo of the view is unfortunately no longer there as this has been completely built out, so that just needs updating as sadly there is no longer that view.

We’ll be back
We often stay in Mangakino with our hydroplane racing and this is by far our best experience of a rental batch. So clean and tidy. Everything you need, and the beds are very comfortable. Walking distance to the lake. Thank you!

Perfect base for exploring the lakes
Had the best stay at the batch, house has absolutely everything we needed and the access to extra water sports gear was a treat! Only one small down side was that the house was not clean when we arrived. The previous guys had left their rubbish :(

Long Weekend Stay
We were asked if we could move to another property a few days before which we were told was very nice, and it certainly was. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and Grant was very easy to deal with and got back to our messages quickly. I will be in contact if we come to stay again. Thanks
