About Mangakino & Surrounds
Situated in the heart of the North Island, Mangakino borders the western shores of Lake Maraetai on the Waikato River. Surrounded by water, forest and farmland, Mangakino is a perfect all-round destination; great for those who seek peace and tranquility and also catering to the more adventurous who enjoy outdoor pursuits. Mangakino and Whakamaru have beautifully scenic lakes on offer, a result of the Hydro Dams which themselves are spectacular structures to see. The lakes are a popular venue for wakeboarding, kayaking and other water sports. Pureora Forest Park is located close by and boasts many features; a number of impressive bush walks, you can stand on the centre of the North Island and also visit New Zealand’s largest Totara Tree, and climb the Forest Tower to look down on the birds and trees below This peaceful lakeside village is a great location from which to base your vacation, as nearby holiday attractions in Taupo, Rotorua, Waitomo and Tokoroa are less than an hour away. Lake Maraetai was formed when the Waikato River was dammed for power generation, forming a lake 4.4 sqkm and up to 190m deep. Accommodation
