M
With the main house having 2 queen bedrooms and an open plan living/kitchen area it can sleep up to 7 guests in air conditioned & heated comfort. Then put the rest of your crew into the newly built rear cabin, with its queen bedroom, and large rumpus with space for another 5 easily and a foosball table!
Then jump onto your kit to go biking, boating, kayaking, fishing, running, outdoors or just relaxing on the deck......?
Spa, bean bags, glass of wine... while the kids amuse themselves on the trampoline...? or and Infinity piping HOT outdoor shower under the Milky Way stars after a long day…...?
Having that second family or group of friends join you in the cabin, or throw the teenagers out there and have some down time for the adults...? So many choices., which option are you...??
……
Black Beauty and her new cabin are set on an 800sqm flat section, pet friendly with a rear fenced area for the dogs and has 3 queen bedrooms & large rumpus room within its 150+sqm family friendly holiday home set up. It boasts an open plan living with french doors at both ends of the house, allowing for cool breezes and a comfortable layout. It has also 2 full separate bathrooms + outdoor shower.
The front & rear decks have year-round covered pergola, so even in the rain and or the beating sun you can leave the doors wide open and enjoy the BBQ, deck and outdoor games. Or lounge out on the bean bags...
How about some soccer, or back yard cricket for the kids... With outdoor games like connect 4, Risk, Jenga, Pétanque, frisbee discs and a trampoline, along with a variety of indoor games/toys/books for kids both young and old to enjoy.
An outdoor HOT shower sound good? Under the stars on a cool night, after a long day in the sun.... Or if you’re not brave enough, then an indoor one is there too.
The main house has a flat screen TV, Freeview (bring own SKY decoder if you wish), gas hot water and hobs. Chromecast unit is there for streaming Netflix and if WIFI is needed we have plenty of that too.
Both houses have been recently fully insulated and with the addition of a large heat pump in each for those cosy winter nights or to cool off those hot summer ones.
Parking space galore for the boats, jetski, toys or caravans either in the front yard or the back.
……
Our Kiwi Bach is (not yet..) a 5 STAR but it’s homely, comfortable and a great place to put your feet up! It’s our little family lake house where we take advantage of the local area or base ourselves for activities.
Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to leave house in a fairly tidy condition (as you got it) and do your dishes before you leave (or put in dishwasher and turn it on before departing)
All beds come with high quality mattresses, linens, pillows and duvets provided. And plenty of spare blankets if they’re required. Our Sleepyhead Beds have had rave reviews for quality.!!!
A cleaning and linens fee $100 Per stay is required for a local crew to come in behind and ahead of your stay to ensure clean, tidy and they do our guest reviews.
We are pet friendly, with notice, and charge the pets at the same rate as extra guests. Some platforms don’t allow for this but can be sorted after booking. This just allows for us to have our cleaner come in behind the pets and have the carpets shampooed and cleaned for those next guests next and keep it nice for all who stay.
Smoking outside only. Remove all cigarette butts to the bin, not left on the grounds please.

Our place is within walking distance to the local shops. There is a small grocery store, bakery, cafe, pharmacy and takeaways. The closest petrol station is in Whakamaru, about 5 mins drive.
Approximately 45mins - 1 hour from both Taupo and Rotorua.
Mangakino is a small town located next to Lake Maraetai and in the heart of the North Island of New Zealand, in the Great Lake Taupo region. Once a thriving town due to the construction of the many dams in the area and the forestry industry. It is now a small and quiet lakeside village and has become more popular with holiday makers and tourists alike. Mangakino is the perfect place to enjoy the stunning lake and forest scenery, great for water sports, golf, mountain biking and hiking or just a relaxing weekend away.
Have a relaxing summer picnic lunch or dinner on the shores of Lake Maraetai while watching the thrills and spills of the wakeboarders out on the water. The lake also reaches comfortable temperatures for swimming during summer.
You can also hire mountain bikes and kayaks at the lakefront.
The perfect spot for hiking and mountain biking, the Waikato River Trails run both directions along from the Mangakino lakefront.
Going south to the Whakamaru Dam it features a 70 metre suspension bridge across the Waikato River, 4km from the Mangakino end of the trail.
Hiking in the Pureora Forest is also popular, particularly the renowned Timber Trail.
You will need a car to get here. There is no public transport.
Approximately 45mins - 1 hour from both Taupo and Rotorua, and 2.5 hours from Auckland.
Walking distance to everything in town. From the 3 kids parks, the shops, golf course, frisbee golf course, lake, walks, trails, bus stops and beyond...
