The Old Oak Boutique Hotel

Lovely and historic hotel in a charming place in the Northlands. Hosts are excellent and helpful. Comfortable beds and spacious room supplied with coffees, teas, and lovely bath items. We feel like we are visiting friends in their fine home.

Stayed at the Old Oak as a base to explore Northland over the Christmas holidays. Great location to visit all Northland's attractions and plenty of food and drink options all within an easy walk. Room was clean, comfortable and of good quality with harbour / garden views from the private deck. Perfect for sundowners. Hosts were excellent providing local advice in a friendly manner and happy to accommodate us if we had a request/question. Would definitely recommend it (have already done so) and book again if in the area.

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.

Just as advertised, lovely historic hotel that has been converted to just a few stunning rooms. Our suite had everything we needed, superb bed and comfy mattress. Views over the garden and bay. Truly only a 5 minute stroll along the board walk to town with shops, cafe's and restaurants. Our hosts, Jennifer and Justin were knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely loved our stay here.

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

We loved our stay at The Old Oak in Mangonui. It’s such a relaxed spot for anyone touring the far north, quiet but with easy access to the local shops and cafes. The suite we stayed in was ideal to come back to and chill after busy days and Justin and Jennifer were welcoming and informative hosts. The rooms were beautifully set up with everything we could have wished for; stunning harbour views and access to a very pretty cottage garden. Will be top of our list for our next Northland trip.

A real gem! My husband and I spent 3 nights at The Old Oak, and have nothing but good things to say. We had a first floor room with a view (hello stunning sunrise over the harbour) and a balcony on two sides. The rooms were stylishly appointed, clean and comfy. Jennifer and Justin, the hosts, were great! Both were very friendly and helpful. Justin had all info on things to see and do on our trip up to Cape Reinga, even lending us a chilly bin for the day, and I loved that Jennifer greeted me by name one morning (how often do you get that at a hotel?). We would definitely recommend The Old Oak and would not hesitate to visit again. To Justin and Jennifer …. Thank you, it was a stay to remember :-)

Would definitely recommend the old oak as fabulous accommodation. The 2-brm room we had upstairs was quaint and full of character. The room was immaculate and well appointed. The hosts were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. They have been there 4 months and are very passionate about the history and character of the hotel which is amazing. Thank you Jennifer and Justin. We loved our stay Regards Chrissie and Margaret

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.
