Mangapapa Hotel

The food was fantastic. The chef’s menu for dinner was great. Breakfast excellent too!

Nice historic building

We have been four times previously but this time service and amenities not as good as previous stays

Overall beauty of the property (hotel and gardens) is exceptional. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Breakfast was excellent especially coffee and egg 'variations'

Minor point - jet spa was available but water temp too cold.

I received a group of 12 friends for a celebration high tea and it was beautifully setup. Champagne or grape juice was offered at the beginning and eventually tea or coffee. The service was very good and the offerings for the high tea delicious and prettily presented. I spent 2 nights with my daughter in a very comfortable beautifully furnished room followed by a good breakfast selection. The setting of the hotel is rustic but the hotel itself delightful with its antique ambiance. Unfortunately we were not able to sample any other services offered by the hotel. I would like to add that all the staff were very pleasant and eager to help.

Beautiful grounds, spectacular suites, delightful staff, great food!

We had a special occasion, and we thought there is no better place, then to stay at Mangapapa Hotel and have High tea and Dinner. Upon our arrival we got greeted by Alaria and taken straight up to our room, which was a spacious Homestead Suite. We immediately,we went to the dining room and had our High tea, which consisted of a wide selection of savoury and sweet treats. Very tasty and very artistic prepared by Chef Lovely, and well explained by Alaria . For dinner we had a 3 course and 5 course menu. The selection of courses was perfect, portion size just right and the flavours were amazing. Well done Chef Young. We received great service from Patience our waitress and a young man from Nepal, which I forgot. Sorry Our room was very comfortable and clean, and my wife enjoyed the bath. Breakfast consisted of a continental section and hot food to be chosen off the menu,which was fairly extensive. The homemade sour dough bread selection was very tasty. We enjoyed our time very much. the Service was antentive,but never intrusive. We certainly would stay again at the Mangangapa Hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay

We loved this little oasis. The owners have done an amazing job of creating a special place that has everything you need. We were driving from Taupo to Napier and stopped for the night. They have lawn tennis, a full spa, swimming pool and an amazing restaurant not to be missed. Don’t bother going back into Napier for dinner. Stay here. They have an incredible wine selection and it’s been one of the highlights of the trip so far.

Located a few short minutes from town, this exquisite little hotel has all the quiet comforts of the countryside, sheep and bunnies included. The gardens were beautiful even as fall approached. We loved the unit. The restaurant and all the staff were amazing. We will definitely revisit.

Food was excellent
