Greenmantle Estate Hotel

“Just wonderful”

Our stay was so lovely- beautiful canapés, breakfast, and such a peaceful setting! We had the spa all to ourselves in a gorgeous New Zealand forest. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for a great stay. We enjoyed a delicious dinner down the road at an outdoor Italian restaurant that was recommended.

I stayed at greenmantle estate hotel. I was greeted when I pulled up outside. Shown to my villa and told about all points that may interest me like the private spar in the palm Grove. I was offered assistance for anything I may need and a contact then left to complete privacy. The villa is stunn8ng equipped with everything I needed for my stay including macaroons and complimentary bar fridge with champagne. Gourmet breakfast delivered at prearranged time next morning. It was huge and amazing. Could not fault my stay far exceeded expectations. Thanks

“Didn’t meet our expectations. Disappointed.”

On arrival we unfortunately found the main house covered in scaffolding. The young man greeting us was apologetic but assured us the workmen would be off site soon, and it shouldn’t impact our stay. Although the cottage is stood a little back from the main house, I’m afraid it did. It made the small pool area, very difficult to access and unpleasant to want to. Also just arriving to a place covered in scaffolding was not great. The research we did mentioned amenities. Not once were we invited into the main house so no lounge, bar, gym facilities. The room in the cottage itself, whilst clean was dated and in need of an upgrade. The kitchenette one of the smallest we experienced on our travels. Only one of the double showers worked. Grounds were not as expected from description, involving us to climb over several large fallen branches. Hot tub was secluded in the gardens but in the damp environment was swarming with biters! The Continental breakfast that was delivered to outside our cottage each morning was of decent quality. Overall we felt the description, both written and photographic, of the estate did not meet the experience. We did raise our concerns with the agent we travelled and booked through and the response from the owners was as the cottage is separate from the house it wouldn’t affect our stay. It did, and apart from that, the lack of the other facilities, the state of the pool and pool area, plus the dated decor meant it didn’t match other 5* boutiques stays at all.

Upon our arrival and seeing the magnificent estate house, we were quite excited. We did not realize the only time you actually go into the estate house (in photo with listing) is when you have the meet and greet. The actual stay is behind the estate house in another much smaller building that houses two suites. Also the pool is "open" but not heated so actually ice cold and the sauna is "heated" but l warm (not hot) so we did not use. The owners are friendly and small kitchenette was great to have in suite. Overall fine but just not at all what we thought we were getting from any information we could find on line.
