Mangapapa is everything a gracious homestead should be. Built of weatherboard, the colonial style house has a veranda that wraps around the upper story giving breezy viewpoints of the 20 acres of lush, green, manicured gardens brimming with roses, established trees and orchards.
The entrance to Mangapapa hosts a grand portico balcony overlooking a fairy-lit umbrella tree with a seat built for two. Capturing the moment from the main homestead is a warm welcome, from the Hotel Manager and staff.
You need not think about carrying your luggage, nor consider doing anything from that moment on that resembles effort. The staff at Mangapapa are so obliging that you switch completely into luxury mode. At your own leisure, a refreshing morning or afternoon tea awaits you followed by a simple tour around the Hotel before being taken to your haven of indulgence.
The twelve-ensuite guestrooms are the last word in understated luxury. Their under floor heating and air conditioning soothe weather extremes and each is individually decorated and furnished with snowy white damask bed linen and soft colours.
Whether you stay in the Mangapapa suite, Executive suites or Deluxe rooms, these are all the pinnacle of extravagance for the discerning. The attention to detail at Mangapapa is meticulous, from the sugar-dusted shortbread on arrival to the personalised menus at dinner.
