My husband and I spent two nights at Margaret and Den's shack in Mangikino with our friend and her baby and our two children.
What a spot! The view over the lake is beautiful and is close to the lake front reserve, cafe and playground.
The house was well equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable and especially for the kids with lots of toys and DVDs to keep them entertained.
Den was helpful at providing advice about things to do and places to visit and even lent us bikes and helmets, which was very generous and made our trip as there are lots of bike tracks to explore. The fire at night was a real treat too. Thanks for having us stay and spend some time in your quaint town.
