Mangamahu Hotel

Mangamahu Hotel (Arthur Ellis, proprietor). This hotel, which was established in 1893, is a wooden building containing twenty rooms—twelve well-furnished bedrooms, four sitting-rooms, a large dining-room, a billiard-room (with one of Alcock's tables), kitchen, etc. The hotel is twenty miles from Fordell, at the junction of three roads—the Upper Wangachu, the Ridge, and Mangamahu Creek roads. Mr. Ellis was born in Yorkshire, and came out to Australia in 1874, returning to England after four years. He came out again in 1879, and soon settled down at Mangamahu. He has always taken an active part, in local politics, having been a member of the road board and of the school committee. Mr. Ellis married Miss Farley, and has two sons and two daughters.
