An OK stay
We booked a garden studio and were a bit disappointed to be backing onto the laundry and as such our bathroom smelt a bit fusty.
Our outside space was also disappointing as there was a bench perched on uneven slabs so was not level and not really user friendly.
The corner bath with shower over was a bit precarious to get into without a proper handrail to grab or curtain around either and the shower head was too low for me being 6ft.
Overall we thought the place was a little tired and in need of an upgrade.
Great addition of access to the pool.
Great accommodatiom. Clean and spacious. Lovely host

Ok for 1 night but could be better
Serves it's purpose for a short 1 night stopover.
The room is dark and there is very little privacy if the curtains are not drawn since the room was very exposed to the general carpark and staircase.
Lack of counter space and hooks in the bathroom.
Stains on bathroom wall.
I have stayed there 3 times in the last year and a half, always like Kingsgate excellent host, tidy motel, helpful hosts and staff, friendly, great place to stay
Awesome location. Really friendly owners. Great size rooms. Thanks for having us!

Pleasant Stay
Pleasant stay, had everything we needed. Convenient location, walking distance to restaurants and supermarket. Glad we had a park adjacent to the office.
The upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment was much appreciated and was clean and comfortable. The pool was excellent, but the fridge has a bad vibration which was noisy during the night.
Close to downtown, so everything was walkable. Friendly staff rushed my room when I arrived early for check in. Exceptionally clean. Excellent place to stay in Nelson. Thank you!
