You cant call this a motel. Its a boutique hotel. Very good for the price. Spacious lobby & rooms. V comfy beds and a power shower. Very quiet as only 10 rooms on site.one of the first places as you drive from Wellington. Heaps of car parking space.

We stayed one night there and would stay for longer. The room was very clean and nicely decorated, bathroom was very good and spotlessly clean. Bed was quite comfy but a bit too soft to my liking. Hosts were friendly and helpful with recommendations on restaurants. Definitely would stay there again.

We were thinking the hotel's paths would be encrusted in gold with masterton commanding $140 a night, it was the height of summer granted. We were originally staying only one night, before heading for a night to the jumbo circuit, how ever our holiday plans shifted back 24hours, meant we wanted an extra night in masterton. They were able to... More

What an incredible surprise. The rooms in the hotel are every bit as nice as a five star hotel. Spacious, well-appointed, and downright beautiful. The staff is super friendly. Newspaper at your door in the morning and a gorgeous lounge.

My husband and I booked are three teenage children into the Gateway as they had decided to join us at the "Toast" of Martinborough. We had booked alternate accommodation in the town. We were greeted so warmly, we arrived far too early to book in but the staff looked after the luggage and the kids found it waiting in their... More

We needed a stopover from Wellington to Napier so picked this motel. Driving up to a building with red flashing neon lights and a white stretch limo parked out front we thought we had made a bad mistake but we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were huge with a king size bed, nice comfy seating area and a power shower... More

Stayed here for a wedding held at the venue & we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were huge, beds comfortable, staff very friendly. It was like a big friendly house atmosphere, cannot complain at all about this place!

During a very wet 6 day stint in my hometown of Masterton we were rained out of our tents camping at my grandparents home. By day 4 (New Years eve) I was sick of getting wet, and our babies getting wet! After ringing around I knew it would be very lucky to secure a room fit for 6 people -... More

We stayed here for two nights, in a king suite. Was very impressed with the room, really comfortable bed, great shower and loved that we could lie in bed and watch Sky on the flat screen TV. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend to other travellers. Thanks Gateway !

After a conference in Wellington we decided to have a night's stop somewhere along the way, rather than drive non-stop to a cold house in Napier. We picked the Gateway Motor Inn on intuition from the three or four similar properties on offer. This one has both Hotel and Motel facilities... we stayed in the hotel part, which avoided the...
