The walks were invigorating and the cafe's were a treat. We also had a wonderful boat tour to Kapiti Island Nature Reserve, where we saw incredible wildlife up close. It was an unforgettable family experience.

For dads, it would be great to have a bigger playground for the kids.

The location was sick, with legit stunning scenery and sick beaches. We even went on a boat tour to Kapiti Island, which was lit! The walks around the area were dope too. And let's not forget about the cafes, they were so chill. Totally recommend this place for young people like us!

The only thing we wished for was a better party scene. Don't get us wrong, the place was awesome for chill vibes and nature stuff, but we were hoping for more options to turn up and have a crazy time!

The bathroom was spacious and had a shower over a large bath, perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day of exploring. The room had a lovely outlook, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful surroundings right from our window. The comfortable bedding made for a restful night's sleep, and the free WiFi kept us connected throughout our stay. The individually decorated guestrooms had a cozy feel, with kitchenettes equipped with everything we needed. The spacious apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, a separate lounge/dining area, and a large flat-screen TV, making it feel like a home away from home. The studio room had a convenient kitchenette and a comfortable lounge area with a TV and a cozy couch.

Personally, I found the bathroom's shower over the large bath a bit inconvenient, but others may enjoy a luxurious bath experience.

We loved the full sky with the ability to record and live pause, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The motel was generally quiet throughout the night, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The on-site amenities, such as the basketball hoop and trampoline, provided plenty of entertainment. The pool and deck chairs were a great way to unwind after a day at the beach. The motel's convenient location near the main street was ideal, and we highly recommend trying out Heaven's Pizza. The staff were also happy to provide extra hot chocolate when we ran out. our stay was enjoyable and memorable.

We felt welcomed and had no reason to complain.

Convenient location near dining options and a supermarket. Comfortable bed and well-maintained swimming pool. Friendly and accommodating staff. Easy access to the expressway and ample parking. Basic but clean facilities.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location couldn't have been better - it was within walking distance to a shopping village and close to everything we needed. Plus, it was right on State Highway 1, making it easy to get around. The service provided by the staff was exceptional - they were friendly, helpful, and always went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. The housekeeping was top-notch, and our room was always clean and tidy. We loved the room amenities, including ironing facilities, heating, and tea and coffee facilities. The sitting area and dining table were great for relaxing and enjoying meals. The garden furniture was a wonderful touch, allowing us to soak up the beautiful surroundings. the hotel was well-equipped and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

In conclusion, we would highly recommend this hotel to families.

We appreciated staying at kapiti gateway motel. Hotel suited family perfectly. Our favorite property in Waikanae, we would recommend it...

Perfect for vacation. The hotel was spotless and included pool. We visited Mangaone Walkway that was right by the venue.

I had a fantastic stay at a conveniently located motel near Wellington. The rooms were clean and tidy, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was a refreshing bonus during the hot weather. I highly recommend this motel for a pleasant stay.

Good friendly assistance and clean rooms

Nothing

Solid accommodation. It has everything you need and no luxury. Located next to many shops and restaurants.

Located next to the railways which were pretty loud at night.

Clean and comfortable room. Generous amenities. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Convenient location near shopping village. Home-away-from-home feeling. Excellent water pressure in shower. Comfortable beds. Extra space for larger groups.

Nothing that I didn't like.

Location was handy to the centre of Waikanae. Friendly and helpful staff

The noise from the Trains could be intrusive

Friendly staff, any problem at all. I recommend it.

Loved the cozy atmosphere of the place, as well as the comfy and clean beds! The water pressure in our shower was absolutely amazing and we really appreciated the extra space in the family room. The fact that the motel can accommodate more people than just the usual family of four was a major plus for us! Key location facts included being in close proximity to eateries and a supermarket. the pool and spa were definite highlights of the stay.

Worst aspects would include being charged for printing with poor-quality ink and feeling a little bit unsafe in the area due to loud trains running late at night. The room was quite small and overpriced compared to other places we've stayed at in a similar area.
