Lovely grounds food very over rated & pricey rooms nice but they need to be instructed on how to keep tiled showers clean ! I've stayed twice in different rooms and both showers were disgraceful, ground discoloured with body grease.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay and provide feedback to us. Our housekeeping staff is very thorough and we have a process in place that ensures rooms are up to our five star standards. We are an older property and there may be tiles with stains that cannot be removed but instead must be replaced which may have been the case in your room. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay with us.

It was a lovely luxurious treat to stay at Mangapapa. We were made to feel extra special by the courteous staff and the little extra touches like refreshing the room while we were at dinner. The 3 course dinner was a real treat. Fine dining at its finest. The facilities were beautiful, the room amazing and the pool and spa area so good. Loved the lovely gardens too. Next time will try to fit the day spa in to complete a magical stay.
