Airport Gateway Motel

The 2-floor unit had 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and total of 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and 3 twin beds. The bathroom had all toiletries. The kitchenette came with a full gas range, full fridge, microwave and utensils. The living room was very cozy. Overall, this made our stay very comfortable. They provided a complimentary bottle of milk. Their shuttle service was noteworthy in that they picked us up and dropped us off to the airport for no additional charges. The hotel parking is a paid parking. Their staff at the reception and shuttle drivers were all very helpful and friendly. I recommend and would return.

The hotel itself is well located and the restaurant’s food is excellent. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you really need to and can’t find anything else at the last minute. The room leaves a lot to be desired, and I believe they need to renovate everything. The bathroom is very old, and the shower is quite bad. I’m not someone who cares about luxury or anything fancy in a hotel, but in my opinion, at the very least, the shower should be clean and the space should allow you to relax and enjoy a good bath.nnThe cleanliness of the room also left something to be desired. There was an unpleasant odor, as if the place had been closed up for months. The fridge in my unit had black tape on the door to act as “shelves,” since the original dividers were no longer there.nnOverall, everyone who assisted us—from the reception staff during check-in to the restaurant team—was very attentive and helpful. They just really need to improve the rooms and the cleanliness. I would give 2.5 star

Beautiful rooms, well appointed. Thankyou Jaqueline for picking us up at some ungodly hour.nFirst minutes in NZ were calming and safe

I saw that others have spoken well of the restaurant food. My experience was different. The service was fine but don't order the burgers unless you want to be disappointed. Burgers can be a thing of beauty when the ingredients are fresh and the burger is freshly constructed. Mine was not.

Collected us at short notice. And arranged a drop off for us as well well after check out time. Staff were super friendly. Room was ultra clean and serviced daily. Portacot was welcome! Amazingly large tv for watching the cricket.nRestaurant was great for both dinner and breakfast. Can recommend the mushrooms on toast!nThanks for a great stay guys. Will definitely be staying again.
