About this property

Aranui Lake House (by the lake)

Aranui Lake House is a well-apportioned, sunny bach with a big back yard for the kids to run around on with a trampoline. Clean and tidy with super comfy beds - read the reviews! It's a 2-minute walk to the lake front. Relax on the beautiful back deck at the end of your days of activities in the area.

If you're a larger group and need another bach, check out the next door property, Waipoua Lake House, which is just as comfortable.

Note that linen and cleaning is included ($100 per booking)

Clean bach with all the conveniences for a comfortable stay.
Was a lovely clean and tidy bach and nice location but the photo of the view is unfortunately no longer there as this has been completely built out, so that just needs updating as sadly there is no longer that view.

About the host

Hosted by Grant Harris

Host profile image
Originally from Palmerston North, now living in Auckland, so Mangakino is the ideal middle-ground. After years of camping beside Lake Taupo we discovered the hidden gem that is Lake Maraetai and there's been no looking back. This is paradise for us!

Why they chose this property

We love the proximity to the lake, we love the privacy of our bach, we love how we've made our bach a home-away-from-home, we love how our family and friends love it, and it's clear others love it too (check the feedback!). What's not to love?!

What makes this property unique

Sun-drenched deck to catch those rays while sipping your cider.
