We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this facility. The rooms were very comfortable, parking our van was a breeze, and the location was conveniently close to all the attractions. The staff, on the whole, were extremely helpful and respectful, making our experience pleasant. However, we did encounter one front desk employee who was not as friendly and welcoming as the others. This stood out in contrast to the otherwise excellent service we received.

January stay 2025

I requested ground level room and was changed last minute to cater ti group booking, at time of check in was told it was ground then when I went to check it was upper level to which the receptionist said her manager had changed my room for the group booking, There’s only stairs to upper level which made carrying my suitcase up the two flights difficult, hence reason I requested ground level as my last stay with my kids I was on upper level. When I travel from Perth I land in Auckland and will always drive straight to the north And have chosen Kingsgate as my halfway point to stay, plus I love the location and other than the stairs and last minute changes, enjoy my stay there.

Comfortable and local

Very well positioned hotel being by the sea front and close to Paihia ferries and restaurants. Breakfast was below average & better options available within walking distance. Avoid, if possible, a ground floor room as cars are parked 1metre from your bedroom window.
