We stayed for two nights while touring New Zealand and found the room spacious, well equipped and clean. The spa pool was great and believe them when they say the drier in the laundry is very efficient! We were given helpful advice about routes and sights on our onward journey. We would certainly recommend this Northgate as a great example... More

This is a classic NZ hotel: clean, basic and exactly what you need for a few days while on holiday. We arrived on the day and asked if there were any rooms available - we were offered a cheaper room located next to the laundry. We were warned it might be a bit loud but in truth, it was fine....

As a corporate client, I stay at The Northgate many times each year and can honestly say that since Paul and Sharyn took it over, the standard of the rooms has continued to improve since I first stayed there back in 2009. Paul and Sharyn always make me very welcome and they and the cleaners are extremely honest. I dropped... More

We stayed at Northgate Motor Lodge during the Rugby World Cup, and it was a great motel to base ourselves in. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were quite well sized (although a little dated) with parking out the front. It's an easy 10 minute walk to Devon St, Pukekura Park, supermarkets and restaurants. A good... More

On arrival we were greeted by friendly Sharyn and her cute little girl. We had Room 19, which had been painted but was still heavy with paint fumes (not a good idea to paint during winter as it takes too long for the paint fumes to dissipate). After 40 minutes in the room my eyes, throat and nose were irritated,... More

Hi, Thanks for your review. We're sorry about the paint fumes in 19, but I have been working very hard to get the units painted and updated, we thought we were doing the right thing by putting you in a recently painted unit. However, I guess it may have been a bit fumy and aplogise for this. We have now... More
