Mangapapa Hotel

We were gifted some vouchers as a wedding present and were so looking forward to our visit, however overall it was really disappointing. The food was the absolute highlight, so nicely prepared and beautiful to eat. The service was also very good. The biggest let down was our room; the bed was incredibly uncomfortable and made terrible creaking noises any time we moved. The pillows were awful and we came away with very sore backs. We passed this feedback on at check out and were simply told 'no one else has ever given that feedback'. We also had no hot water in the bathroom sink which I can see has been mentioned in previous reviews. We also had massages at the spa; one therapist was ok, the other did not want to be there. Given how much they charge we feel they absolutely need to lift their game. Visit for the food but steer well clear of everything else.

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.
