Greenmantle Estate Hotel

On the west coast of New Zealand’s lower North Island in Paraparaumu (Otaihanga), a luxury boutique lodge minutes from the Southward Car Museum. A short drive takes you to Paraparaumu Beach, Waikanae Estuary and the Putangirua Pinnacles; Paraparaumu Airport is about 5.4 km away and Wellington Intl. is roughly 64 km.

Simple, elegant rooms with pillowtop beds, Frette Italian sheets, free minibar items and flat-screen TVs. Many rooms open onto private balconies or patios, and the property pairs heated-pool and hot-tub indulgence with nikau-fringed gardens and nearby virgin forest for quick escapes.

Soak in the heated outdoor pool or sink into the hot-tub, unwind with spa massages, or hit the 24-hour fitness center. The lodge also offers a lobby fireplace, picnic areas, concierge services and easy access to a nearby golf course.

Complimentary wireless internet and a business center support work on the road. Meeting rooms, conference space, luggage storage, a safe deposit box, free self‑parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge) round out the practical side.

A bar/lounge and on-site restaurant plus a coffee shop keep things simple and social. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (6:00–10:30 AM), and limited room service is available.
