We loved our overnight stay in Mangaweka. We chose this as it was well situated on our way down to Wellington on our month long tour of NZ. What we didn’t expect is that it would be such a treat to get a little flavour of rural NZ through our brief stay here. Beautiful scenery, lovely little set up, and a delightful breakfast with homemade preserves. The delicious homemade cookies were consumed very quickly too! There was a bit of a layer of dust over some surfaces, but the bathroom was clean and all linen fresh which was the most important thing. Whilst Ruth was away overnight, she provided clear instructions for getting in and putting on a wash, which was really helpful. We would very much recommend this lovely place.
