A very nice well kept and well run family motel. Rooms are very clean, tidy and functional. Staff are very friendly. Only downside is that as it is immediately off the H1, there is a bit of traffic noise and occassional passing freight trains in the night. Would not hesitate to stay there again

We recently stayed at the Kapiti Gateway Motel as my husband had a course in Kapiti. It was a great place for us to stay: the hosts were fantastic and so friendly and helpful and the rooms were spotless and well presented. It was great value for money and we would not hesitate to stay again. Tracey

When we had to make a change, again no problem. Motel was clean and very tidy however is not new and this is reflected in the modest price. Highly recommended... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean and tidy and the grounds were immaculately kept. We wondered about the road noise but once inside the unit we found this to be no problem. Hosts were very obliging and friendly. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the spa. We accidently left an article behind and they... More
