We stayed for two nights. Cosy room, with everything we could have needed. The decor throughout the building was lovely. The food from the kitchen was outstanding, we tried the breakfast and dinner menus - great quality food - yum! Special call out to Debs in the bar/restaurant waiting team, thank you for the wonderful service and your cheerful manner - you were the highlight of our stay :)

Steampunk Chic
The renovated rooms in this hotel are super lux and have a bit of a steampunk vibe to them, with dark jewel tones, many clocks, and copper piping in the spacious bathroom. TV, fridge, claw foot bathtub, options for heating and a fan for cooling, and a sumptuous velvet duvet made the overnight stay super relaxing. Had a three course meal at Brac and Bow downstairs that did not disappoint. Staying here was a treat.

Will be back!
We will definitely be back and planning to return with friends. The only low point was a very busy restaurant so food took a while one evening- however it was good food!!! And advise not to try for an early night if there’s s wedding at the venue! Felt like the band was in the room- however- it was good music!!!!

I loved the thematic decor of the piriraku room, so quaint, finished to a high standard, beautiful architectural features with the modern conveniences. I stayed in the hotel on my own (no reception overnight and no other guests). I did have a contact number (should I need it) and I certainly did not feel unsafe, it just wasn't what I had expected or experienced before. However, I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Treat yourself !
We enjoyed a fabulous birthday weekend in the Wairapara - the refurbished Royal Hotel was the perfect place to base ourselves for two nights. It was quirky, cosy and welcoming - we loved the decor, the sense of history and the good range of dining options. The only disappointment was that we did not meet the famous dogs - maybe next year.

The New Zealand steam punk theme was very cool. Parking is a bit restricted and the restaurant/bar is very good but very busy (which is a symptom of the good thing). So make sure you book a table very early.

The decor which was quirky, beautifully done, comfortable and charming. Our room and ensuite was incredibly clean, something which was really appreciated. Great food at the restaurant Brac and Bow, where we enjoyed one of the best meals we've eaten in a long time. Only quibble was the lack of human interaction when checking in and checking out. But that's just a personal preference. Lovely establishment and I'd can't wait go to back for another visit.

Restyled old pub. Front rooms a bit noisy. Decor is 'interesting' by the time you unload all the cushions off the bed, hardly any space to step around the bed. Mats on the floor make for a slip and trip risk - and get caught under the door to the room.

Beautifully restored hotel, both in the downstairs bar area as well as the rooms. We booked very last minute and think got the last room which was pretty small. That said it was beautifully appointed, clean and comfy and was perfect for retiring too after dinner downstairs. Shared bathrooms were always clean and again, beautifully restored.

Wonderful refurbishment done to a high quality. A wonderful business or couples hotel choice for the Wairapapa. The property has an on-site bar and restaurant which has also been recently re-done.
