You'll savor the comforts of a magnificent guest suite whose themed interiors are infused with understated luxury. Attention to detail embraces the sugar-dusted shortbread that welcomes you, the lavish breakfast that starts each day and the personalized menus that highlight each evening's dining.

We recently enjoyed a two-night stay at Mangapapa Hotel, staying in the Mangapapa Suite, and it was a thoroughly memorable experience. The suite itself was large, beautifully appointed, and lived up to its reputation as the hotel’s premier offering. While it comes at a higher price point, the experience will be remembered long after the price is forgotten. We dined in the restaurant on both evenings and enjoyed breakfast on both mornings. The three-course dinners were superb, showcasing the skill of an obviously very talented chef, each course was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. Breakfast was equally impressive, offering a generous range of delicious hot and cold options. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by James, whose professionalism and genuine hospitality set the tone for our stay. He was supported by an attentive and friendly team who ensured everything ran seamlessly. Overall, this was a very enjoyable and relaxing stay, one we would happily recommend and look forward to repeating.

Spent a lovely night at this wonderful hotel. Everything from the welcoming and friendly staff, the very well appointed room and the manicured grounds was perfect. Had a fantastic dinner as well in the restaurant - well worth it!

A fabulous spot in a delightful area, excellent staff and a desire to look after guests that is exceptionally rare. From the moment we arrived, very late thanks to issues with the ferry, nothing was too much trouble.

THE place to stay in Hawke’s Bay. A beautiful old house with a long driveway leading to it, surrounded by gardens, fields and a pool/spa. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated. The food was delicious with superb service, however the things that made it extra special were the attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff. We will definitely come again.
