Greenmantle Estate Boutique Hotel, Kapiti Coast

We absolutely loved the Greenmantle Estate Boutique Hotel. It is a small and intimate property. There is a nice pool area and enchanting woods around the property and they have a jacuzzi right in the middle of said woods where you can unwind with a glass of the complimentary prosecco provided.

It is located about 10 mins from Paraparumu where there is a few nice restaurants you can dine out at, and a taxi is easily ordered you just have to get phone number from host. There is a continental breakfast which you can enjoy on your porch, and it is pretty substantial. The host lives in the building next to the rooms and theycouldn't do more for us. Really enjoyable experience overall.

Top tip: Head out to Kapati Island a bird sanctuary with no predators. Also, check out the Southward Car Museum. Really Impressive collection of vintage cars. Make a reservation in advance for 50-50 restaurant brilliant tasting menu.
