Mangapapa Hotel

While in Hawkes Bay for a family wedding my husband and I chose to stay at Mangapapa Lodge. Its a beautiful property, set in peaceful surroundings, the rooms are quiet luxury. Bathroom amenities, fabulous coffee from Hawthorne Roasters and fresh baked chocolate chip cookie's just a couple of little treats that add to your enjoyment. This is an elegant place and the service from the staff is next level. The dinner we ate at the Lodge was very good. No detail is overlooked. I would recommend Mangapapa Lodge for a special occasion stay or just to spoil yourself. 5 stars from me.

Great experience at this property. Hitomi, the property manager seemed to always be present and very supportive and helpful during our stay. The staff overall were friendly and responsive and the breakfasts were delicious. We also had dinner one night in their restaurant and it was exceptional. Our room (Orchard) was spotless, comfortable and well-equipped. Very solid choice in the Havelock North area and I'm so glad we chose this property over the Rosewood.

We had an 8 night stay at this wonderful boutique hotel which is only a short distance from Havelock North surrounded by great wineries. It's also off the road up a magnificent long drive so it's serene, quiet and secure. The refurbished older building has a wonderful warmth about it with great history. They have every amenity and is perfectly set up for boutique accommodation with differing room types. The manager Hitomi is absolutely delightfully amazing and together with her fabulous team showed us wonderful hospitality with attention to our every need. We loved the personalized touches, menus and notes, so thoughtful and unexpected. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, felt extremely pampered. We reluctantly had to leave. This is truly one of, if not the best accommodation in the area.

Mangapapa is our special place to stay when in the bay. It's perfect, safe and secure, relaxed, stunning homestead and gardens, beautiful rooms, great parking and outstanding food and service. Great value

Stayed only one night enroute to Gisborne but so enjoyed the comfortable suite the log fire and the superb cuisine. The staff were unobtrusive but very helpful. There is not a better boutique hotel or lodge on the east coast.
