Waipoua Lake House

Freshly renovated bach. Light and bright in a peaceful location to kick back and relax with an easy stroll to the boat ramp, lake front reserve or the local shops.

“We had a great trip to Mangakino, was a bonus that we could bring our furry friend Jack. Tidy fully fenced section and well appointed cute home with everything we need.”

NOTE: Cleaning is provided for $45 per booking. Duvets/blankets and pillows are provided - linen and towels are available for an additional $55 per booking/stay.

Aranui Lake House is next door if you need more space - on another listing.
