Wonderful hosts, amazing service, and everything a visitor could expect for. Very close to town center. We had a wonderful time in Nelson during our family trip. Our children relaxed in the pool after long days out doors. Very family friendly, even provided pool toys for the children to play with. Thomas/Sudha

Kingsgate was lovely and we had a relaxing stay. We really liked how close to the city centre we were although it was a little loud - not a huge deal though because it definitely quietened by 8.30pm both nights we were. Rooms were clean and a decent size.

Kingsgate was a pleasant place to stay. The rooms were fresh and welcoming, and we loved the little pot of mints! It was nice how the motel was so close to town, but if you were to walk up, you'd still get some exercise. The motel isn't 'the flashiest ever,' but it is a sweet and inviting motel to stop... More

Motel is in a good location near city centre. Room was clean. Bathroom needs updating and water pressure in shower was very bad.

We stayed in the double spa room during the RWC. The room was a bit cosy, but it was clean and private. The hosts were extremely helpful with recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Nelson. The city is just a short walk away and the rugby park was just across the stree; a great location for... More

We stayed at Kings Gate Motel for two nights while visiting the north of the South Island. We had booked the honeymoon studio but upon arrival Ross and Debbie showed us one of the other studios and let us have our pick. In the end we decided against the honeymoon studio as it was much smaller - the room we... More

The Bedside cabinet was of a vinyl veneer and so could not be repaired. Photograhic proof was sent to guest, and at no time did they deny causing the damage. The unit was replaced with a cheaper unit to keep their cost down. More
