On a recent 9 hotel visit to NZ this hotel was the cheapest yet up the top with the 3 "big name" hotels we used. My wife and I could not fault the room (named after a past NZ racehorse) nor the entry and general "feel" of the place. Unfortunately it was not well occupied (3 rooms all up) when we went which we found very surprising. That probably was the reason the restaurant and bar were shut. The bar was adjacent to the reception and it looked a very inviting place to relax after our drive from Wellington. I wish the proprietor a deservedly good future. It has free parking which is always welcome (although as a "smaller" NZ town possibly all the hotels are similar).

Very minor drawback was the distance from the main part of town but that is clearly not a problem for motorists.

Rupi is a wonderful host who takes the time to know your name. We loved the layout of the room and how cosy it was with the heat pump, which will be equally great in the summer weather to cool down. Brilliant shower and the bed was super comfy, which is a huge plus for us when away from home. The Gateway Moto Inn has a great feel when you walk in and you feel secure when coming in later in the evening with key fob access after hours. We enjoyed that each suite was named after a New Zealand race horse and we stayed in the Gloaming room. I highly recommend both Rupi and the lovely accomodation he offers. Thank you so much Rupi, you are the kind of host everyone hopes to have. We wish you all the success and hope to see you again.

Nothing, it was great.

Absolutely loved Gateway - we stayed in the "Bonecrusher" Room. Really warm, spacious and comfortable. Even though it is on State Highway 2, we didn't hear any road noise Definitely has a lot of character. Historically, structure was horse stables and rooms are named after champion thoroughbreds Breakfast was generous, warm and well-cooked. Rupi and other staff were really welcoming and helpful. Gateway will always be our first option for when we visit our best friends next time

Super Enjoyable Stay. Looks amazingly good when you enter the main door. Rupi Checked my arrival time and Room was kept so warm on arrival which hardly any motel will do in New Zealand. Very much safe for single ladies and families. Strongly recommend this place.

Exterior needs a bit refurbish but it is very much secondary thing. All was exceptionally good.

Rupi, Our host was fantastic, communication was perfect. The room was a nice size and the outside pergola/courtyard/ was nice to sit outside in the sun. Liked been on the outskirts of town. Easy drive in.

It would have been nice to sit in the bar for a evening drink. This was closed due to staff shortages. However this was already explained to us before arrival, so we just brought our own and enjoyed the outside area.

Stupendous Hospitality, Rooms are amazingly good, the bed the shower are top class. The shower best and heatpump is strong. The room was kept so Cosy and warm on our arrival, I wonder how many hotels do that, I believe hardly any. Strongly recommend this place. Will visit again for sure.

All Good

We were upgraded to a suite with 2 king beds.A spacious clean room with a comfortable couch ,extra chair and a good size coffee table.A comfortable bed but fat pillows.The heat pump worked well.Good size TV with freeview channels and good reception.basic facitlities in kitchenette with a good size microwave.Plenty of electric points in room.Spacious clean bathroom with adequate supplies and good water pressure both hot and cold.Plenty of parking.Lovely friendly staff.

There was no table or chairs either inside room or outside as stipulated on our information page which made dinning on the coffee table while seated on couch not ideal.The TV controls kept jumping channels and there was no prime channel.No extra recepticles for using in microwave to cook or heat appart from plates.No other form of cooking available.There is no bread board or can opener.The pillows are mostly too fat.

Grand, spacious rooms named after famous NZ racehorses. Very comfortable beds and modern, well-appointed bathrooms. Room was wonderfully quiet and felt very secure. Common areas are currently under renovation and look like they will have an amazing almost country lodge feel. We travel to Masterton regularly to visit family and Gateway probably has the best rooms available in town. Most of the owners(?)/managers/staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.

There was no streaming service, and with a standard flatscreen tv, no ability to stream from our own devices - this would be the barrier to us staying at Gateway as a family. Wifi and mobile reception were also erractic but were possibly impacted by the extensive roadworks occuring in the area. Unfortunately the older man on the reception desk was rude at checkin (thankfully a lovely younger woman was there too!) and then said nothing when I dropped the key and thanked him for the stay. As a well-travelled, caucasian female I'd say cultural differences impacted his attitude to me. A shame as the others were all friendly and amazing.

Our rooms were both excellent. Well appointed and very comfortable. The highlight of our stay were the staff, Rupi and his wife were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. My two young daughters in particular loved the Gateway, and really that was down to the way we were looked after. There are lots of places with comfortable rooms, but not many places have staff that are so attentive. Will definitely be back.

The hosts, the comfortable king-size beds and the large room. It was tidy, fresh and clean. The shower was to die for. Good air conditioning and secluded outlook for privacy. The hosts were so lovely and helpful. Good location and good value for money. Have been there before and the stay was just as good as last time. Will come back again. Much nicer than the other hotels/motels along the strip. Boutique. Really good.
