Relaxing, perfect holiday bach
We absolutely loved our stay at Mango time. We especially loved the warm fire and cosy nights in. Extremly relaxing and quiet, we enjoyed having our dogs in a fully fenced yard with water bowl, we could let them outside without any worries, this was a god send. The bach is fully equipped with a lovely big kitchen, cooking items, everything you could need. Comfortable beds with duvea's. Great modern bathroom with fantastic shower pressure. Bbq and lovely sun drenched deck with table and chairs. We had a great game of darts too. Close to the lake and shops. We loved this bach amazing!!!

Enjoyable stay
Lovely comfortable bach in a great location. Enjoyed toasted marshmallows on our final night in the fire pit with a full moon. Did state they had a TV which they did but was for DVD use only and no Wi-Fi which was a bit disappointing especially as phone reception was patchy.

Family fun
Very well equipped, warm and cosy wee bach. The kids were thankful for the extensive dvd collection and games as we had rain. When it stopped we enjoyed the perfect lawn for outdoor games. Amazing shower! Thanks for having us.

Great location and summer property
Was a great little place and good location. Would be a fantastic summer house with the big decking out the back. We staying in the middle of winter and there was plenty of firewood for the log burner and heaters in each room, so we were plenty warm enough. The bathroom has been upgraded and is lovely with a huge shower. We were a group of 6 adults, and with having the bunk beds (sturdy wooden bunks would be a better option than the ones there), I opted to sleep on the fold out sofa in the foyer rather than the top bunk. Would be more suited to 4 adults and children.

Magic in Mango
We stayed in Mango to enable us to get some space away from our daughter's rowing camp around the corner. This place proved to be a great kiwi bach with all the necessities covered and it was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the serenity of limited technology, the outdoor fire pit, the darts, games and DVD selection. The fruiting lemon tree was a bonus and lifted our G&Ts. Beds were comfortable, shower was powerful and separate living spaces ample. Only downside was the noisy local drive-bys. Limited but loud! Otherwise thoroughly enjoyable and we'd stay again.
