Mangapapa Hotel

On arrival I was a bit disappointed as the hotel seemed rather remote and not near any shops, bars or restaurants. However if you don’t mind being isolated the hotel is beautiful with the most fantastic rooms and wonderful food. We had two dinners included and they were both exceptional. The staff were wonderful .

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.

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

Set a little out of town in its own mature grounds, this is a superb establishment. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Beds comfortable, bathrooms well equipped and well proportioned. Add to that a really good restaurant and you have a hotel well worth visiting.

Somewhat of a let down. We booked the 5 course dinner and confirmed twice but, upon arrival, we were told that there was no dinner that evening even though the dining room is advertised as being open seven days per week. Then the hot water in our room ran out after brief use. The facility was very nice, rooms spacious and clean, and breakfast very good. The rest was just not up to the standard that they portray.
