Kāpiti's Greenmantle boutique hotel a jewel in district's crown 22 Dec, 2020 09:00 PM 3 minutes to read David Haxton is editor of Kapiti [email protected] Where did Tiger Woods stay during the New Zealand Golf Open when it was held at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club? The answer is Greenmantle, a charming luxury boutique hotel, surrounded by beautifully kept gardens, tucked away in a peaceful corner of Paraparaumu. The matter of where Woods going to stay was the talk of the town in the lead-up to the 2002 tournament, some even suggesting Kāpiti Island. A premier suite.
