Units were not as good as pictured on website. Very cold, uninviting rooms. Only 2 little heaters that dont heat nothing! Being In Wellington, you need proper heating. Microwave, stove hobbs and electric blanket did not work! However, good showers! No wifi in units.

What a great place for a small business meeitng or conference. Great Staff and Judy was sooooo asommodating throughout all my emails and phonecalls and just amazing to us on arrival and throughout our stay. We arrived and kitchen was closed, they still cooked for us. I was poured an extra large wine as tired and so happy to arrive and was tired! Thank you! The next morning we were made hot drinks in the lounge, even though it was not open for service :) Work went well, lovely lunch feedback positive, and great location away form hustle and bustle of city centre. Handy with bus stop right there. I am a camper with my family and noted the lovel outlook the campervans got for being in the middle of Wellington, a great cheap alternative. Thanks Judy and team we will be back again soon! :) P.S Great black out curtains I never normaly sleep in till 9am! Comfy beds, and sooooooo quiet! I hear everything! A+ for us!

We stayed 2 nights, Saturday (final of rugby 7s) & Sunday. Chose location so we could get to ferry easily on a Monday morning: ferry is 6.5km away, easy drive.
Reception was friendly on arrival, gave us milk & cookies, but did not show us to our room (as had been the case at previous motels we'd stayed at). Had to park where we could, & had a 30m walk in the rain to our room (room 301, I think).

On site restaurant & bar - didn't use as we sent out/had our own supplies. Thought both we re overpriced.

Room was most expensive of our trip: the cashed in on it being a weekend/rugby 7s etc etc. Definitely not worth it, but as said, chose so we didn't have to negotiate Monday morning rush hour across/through the city.

Room: had 1 double & 1 single bed, 1 very uncomfortable armchair, 3 dining chairs, 1 dining table. Seemed dull & dowdy, but as it rained all the time we were there, & couldn't even see across the lawn, maybe that was just our perception. No wardrobe - just a hanging rail inside main door.

Kitchenette: bit dated but sufficient for our needs (ie cereals/sandwich making). New-ish microwave, old kettle & ancient toaster.

Bathroom: stainless steel shower base that moved when we shifted weight. Floors & walls dripped condensation after use - probably due to it being so cold & wet outside. Towels did not dry out overnight, so we went against our normal reuse practice & put all 4 in for laundry. Toilet roll was 1-ply & was in a 2-roll dispenser. Fell to pieces when initially pulled.

Wifi: purchased in reception NZ$4 (can't remember how long for or what Mb download), but signal was good & quick.

Managed to park outside our room when we returned on the Sunday (1 of 3 places for 10 or 12 rooms).

The morning we left, the sun shone & we were able to see houses on hills above the motel, & a village in the valley: capital Gateway certainly looked better in the sun!

Probably wouldn't stay there again.

Comfortable base located by main road into city. We did not use the car whilst in Wellington as there was a bus stop by the driveway which we used to go into city centre. Convenient 10 minutes drive to the Interislander ferry. Was in Wellington over Rugby 7's weekend, crowded but fun.
