My wife, two sons and I recently stayed here for 3 nights, 4 days. It is a 3-star hotel, so I must remind myself this fact when writing this review. I gave it a "very good" rating due to the price and overall value compared to other 3-star hotels (and even 4-star) I have stayed at. Individual ratings are reflected... More

This is a new, clean place. I wasn't too impressed with a young female receptionist who said our bags had to stay in the foyer for a few hours when we arrived fairly early. Next day another receptionist was there - same situation arose - and she quickly put the baggage safely away elsewhere. The Kingsgate had a free shuttle... More

The travel information centre originally sent us to the Copthorne Hotel where we were shown an old outdated room without air conditioning. The receptionist kindly informed us that they also managed this property. We couldn't believe the rooms in comparison clean, modern and spacious. For not a lot more we were able to stay in the one bedroom apartment with... More

This was the second time we had been caught out, so I tried the Kingsgate as a last resort. It seems this establishment had helped out several families who had seen... More

Also, a little more could have been done about the breakfast as well. Barring... More

We are very pleasantly surprised to know that the room is equipped with a shower room with bathtub and shower facility and a toilet room. It is conveniently located at the heart of Paihia. I would return to stay in Kingsgate if I am in Paihia in the... More

Not much to say except endorse earlier comments. Good people, good room and facilities and close to town. Best happy hour we had in New Zealand. More

we travelled here from auckland for a family weekend. had great fun riding the hotel bikes, using the tennis court, and swimming in the pool. our room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a small balcony to sit out on. the staff are very friendly and helpful. breakfast was good, and i believe the common areas of the hotel are...

We couldn't get any closer to the bay than being across the road, although our room wasn't facing the foreshore, it was only a short walk down the front. The room was good and comfortable. The staff member (we only saw one) at the front desk was friendly and helpful - having a bolt cutter easily on hand to assist... More
