The Old Oak Boutique Hotel

Great location, nice hosts

Thanks for a superb couple of nights away. Loved the room, couldn't fault it. With thanks Paula

The Old Oak is a lovely old lady, nicely renovated and comfortable. Mangonui is a small town, and we found ourselves at a loose end, having booked a two-night stay. Unfortunately, the first night we were there, an attempt was made to steal our car parked directly in front (the only parking available), leaving it undriveable. Not the fault of Old Oak, of course, but off-street parking or better surveillance might have made a difference. For no fault of Old Oak, we are unlikely to return to Mangonui...

Quality

Thanks for your hospitality, lovely to meet you.

Great place to stay and enjoy the spectacular local area. Very nice hosts.

Very nice hotel with dining options near b.

A lovely historic building with fantastic salt water view and several walkable dining choices nearby. A very capable and gracious host couple. Cannot say enough nice things about the hotel and its environs.

Wonderful, characterful, very comfortable, hosts very helpful, a great 3 night stay

This property has been operating as a hotel since 1861 and has loads of character and charm combined with all of the modern day amenities. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The owners, Justin and Jennifer, are friendly, welcoming and helpful. My only negative is that there needs to better lighting in the bathroom. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

Lovely quaint hotel in a great location. The bed was very comfortable!

Loved the historic feel about the hotel, really enjoyed the media room! Suite was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. Jennifer and Justin were very welcoming and Justin went out of his way to fix my husbands bicycle!

Beautifully detailed heritage hotel on the shores of Mangonui. Lovely hosts.

It was a pure delight. The property is gorgeous. The owners are lovely and it was great to wander along the boardwalk, look at the shops, enjoy dinner and the new wine and whiskey bar. Super relaxing night away.

Such a beautiful building and great place to stay, Great hosts,

Beautiful old hotel in a lovely waterside village. Wonderful hosts, thank you!

A beautiful property run by very friendly and accommodating owners. Will definitely be back!

The Old Oak Boutique Hotel is a gem of a place to stay. The hotel is rich in history and although has all of the modern amenities you can feel the history all around you. The bed was super comfy and we loved our ocean-view suite that boasts three separate rooms (a bedroom with a cute balcony, a kitchen/dining area, and a living room with a couch and rocking chair for watching tv) and a nicely appointed bathroom. Our hosts were super helpful when suggesting places to have a bite and grab a drink . The locals in the town were a delightful, colorful bunch who all looked like they belong on a movie set for a small fishing town (oh, and there is a fishery and stores to buy seafood fresh out of the water) and has (world/NZ?) famous fish and chips. Stay here on your way to or from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds - a must see bit of NZ history.

Best stay in the far north

Most enjoyable stay in a tranquil spot
