A quiet round in Mangakino
Play a quiet round where the lake shimmers beside you. Mangakino’s friendly 9-hole course welcomes all, with lakeside views and an easy rhythm. Unique greens for the 9th and 18th add a local twist to this laid-back golfing escape.
Ride the flow of the Waikato River Trails
Pedal or stroll through the lakeside bush and the river’s edge. The scenic trails in Mangakino are slow travel at its best.
Lake Maraetai: Where the water holds the quiet
Paddle still waters, picnic in the sun, or sit quietly by the lake. Maraetai is where time slows down and the view stays still.
Timber Trail: Cycle through ancient forests
Ride suspension bridges and mossy bush trails - the Timber Trail blends quiet moments with epic scenery just beyond Mangakino.
Whakamaru Dam: Engineering marvels and scenic views
Just a short drive from Mangakino, Whakamaru Dam offers panoramic views from its summit. Witness the dramatic drop of the Waikato River and appreciate the blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.
Mangakino’s unforgettable finds
Cycle scenic trails, picnic in native shade, or float on still waters. Mangakino is made for mellow moments.
