I liked the hotel as it was well located- against the lake and you can walk to the town (about 10 min). The hotel rooms were clean and adequate though a bit dated. Three of four electric blankets didnt work but it wasnt a big problem as the room heater was good. Breakfast was nice and the restaurant and reception... More

By New Zealand motel / Hotel standards we were disapointed, a traditional hotel type room with limited facilities in many ways like the budget hotels you find in the UK. There was internet access but only in the lobby. The room was small but comfortable and clean. The lobby staff were efficient enough but a smile would have helped. Unlike... More

We arrived a bit late around 8pm, the staff was prompt as we have already booked three rooms. The rooms we had were on the same floor, connected but didn't have the lake view but it was alright spacious and warm. The bed was a bit too soft, realized that this was the same for every other hotels/motels in NZ.... More

Aagh! There is always the nagging feeling whern you are about to write a well deserved bad review on a property that it will reflect poorly on the staff so, from the outset, let it be said that the staff on the front counter of this hotel are exceptional. Friendly, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile. Such... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at Kingsgate. The service was first-class, with staff going beyond the call of duty to assist us with whatever we needed. Being ideally located on the lake (& easily walkable to town) is tremendous. Both breakfasts and dinners were delicious and good value to boot. Our whole family would love to return - often! More

This is a very good hotel -- room is clean and has everything you need, and is walkable to town center. It comes with 20-min free Internet at the lobby. I pre-booked the "early-bird" due few months in advance (with pre-paid and no cancellation policy), but turn up that it is much cheaper to book just a few weeks before... More
