    A good place to stay. Area is safe and quiet. Gottage is clean and well equipped.

    Very clean. Has everything we needed in terms of cooking and the beds were super comfortable.

    The wifi modem is in the main house so connection was not good at all.

    Overall, the accom was adequate for a night but a few little 'touches' would make it even better.

    The accommodation had private facilities. Other available accommodation in Mangakino would have meant sharing. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped (except for lack of microwave proof dishes) but this is not clear when looking through the photographs. For example, there appears to be no stove top but there was a stand-alone induction element in the cupboard. This should be made clear.

    The pillows on the bed are shocking; way, way too big & uncomfortable. Door between living area & bathroom slides open of its own volition. The 'make do' latch could be improved. A fairly tight squeeze for four people. No table to sit up to.
