Kingsgate accommodation from NZ$98

Lovely new hotel. Very quiet rooms, lovely staff, comfy bed and great breakfast. Very impressed all round.

We have a lovely time. The hotel was perfectly central with everything on the doorstep. The staff were welcoming and the room was spotless and comfty. Our room did experience noise from outside, which we think was an air conditioning unit, but it didn't affect our overall enjoyment.

We had a 3 night stay in the hotel in a twin bed room. All the hotel and bar staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The bar and dining areas were busy as it was the last weekend of the school holidays. We attended a lunchtime event in the guests dining room. The bedroom had a partial view of the sea and was kept clean each day. There was plenty of room for 2 of us however there was a significant lack of available power points. The kettle, coffee machine, air cooler and mobile phones were all competing for 1 socket. I would have liked the option for a brighter bed side light for reading while in bed. In the large ensuite bathroom I would like to suggest for a greater customer experience that additional rails, either free standing or wall mounted, be provided, adjacent to the basin and bath so that towels have a chance to dry after use. Shelving for wash bags and hooks for hanging clean clothes would be a bonus. There was always plenty of hot water. We appreciated the hotel working towards reducing their use of plastic by providing flasks of cold milk and also in advising that towels would be washed as required rather than automatically on a daily basis. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice and the 1 evening main meal was delicious. The vegetarian options were very limited on that evening though. It was a pleasant stay for a weekend by the sea. Thank you
