Imagine contemplating the day over a more extensive spread that satisfies a variety of palates, all while nestled in the sun-drenched terrace.

Moreover, Cafe & Rent Mahlia isn’t just about food and drink; it also caters to adventure enthusiasts by renting out stand-up paddleboards and jet skis. This unique feature aligns perfectly with the cafe's theme, providing visitors with exhilarating ways to enjoy the stunning lakeside environment.

Vakkaripaikka naapurissa. Näkymät tekee tämän paikan! Upeat auringonlaskut. Vielä kun saisi jotain syötävää (vain nachoja tai paninia), niin käytäisiin useammin. Vuokraavat myös sup-lautoja ja jettejä. Oikein hyvä kesäterssikohde.

Aurinko heittää säteitään pitkin Vanajan selkää...laineet lyövät talven jälkeen rantakiviin ikäänkuin kirmaten jäiden vankeuden jälkeen..keväinen pyöräily rantareitillä seisahtuu sponttaanisti avoinna olevan terassin eteen ..taskun pohjalta kolikoiden laskenta ja tinkaamaan puolison kanssa kahvit...myyjä , nuori mies kertoi säpäkästi että pannun pohjalla tilkka ..juuri ja juuri pari kupillista ..saatte puoleen hintaan...tartuttiin tähän ja istuttiin aurinkoon ihastelemaan linnan silhuettia...ja varmaa on että tämä terassi tulee olemaan ..tai paremminkin suuntaamme reitin niin että istumme täällä tulevaisuudessakin retkillämme. Kiitos.

Terassi, johon aurinko paistaa pisimpään. Helppo poiketa ja nauttia juomat seurustelun yhteydessä.
