Overall Ratings & Reviews Catlins Gateway Motel

The check in was not only excellent but we were given quite a lot of information on the area. And then showed the room and an explanation on everthing in the room.

We loved it here...cute little town, great shops to browse in and meander through....great location.

Nice clean and warm rooms. Great shower! Trevor and his wife were knowledgable and friendly.

Very spacious room with comfy beds and pillows. Basic kitchen amenities with shower pressure abit limited. Trevor was very friendly and had provided us plenty of travel tips!

Lovely welcome and helpful hints as to where to visit and to eat. Great meal at Catlins Inn. Highly recommend- good value for money.

Can't really comment on the other motels in the town but, based upon our walk through the area we believe this motel to be the best. Would happily recommend to family and friends.

Nice and clean fresh towels daily ! Shower pressure was not good and would of been nice to get daily milk not just on first day

Otago is a lovely quiet location, close to some very beautiful scenery and this motel was just lovely. A real highlight and great value for money. The furniture and kitchen equipment was good quality. I loved it.

Comfortable location to explore the Catlins area. Room was spacious and clean. Contained all the facilities to cook inside if you get there late. Laundry facilities are shared with the owner. The only drawback was the shower - flow was weak, and the inside heater was not sufficient for two showers.You should wait between the showers. However, we had a pleasant stay.

Clean and comfortable. Main road a little noisy with trucks but otherwise great location and very spacious.

Friendly and welcomely host, rural atmosphere of location. Highly recommend

The motel is great and comfort. Bed - comfort Kitchen - Function good with Rice cooker, Oven, microwave, Stovetop of 4, waterbolier, refrigerator (would be nicer / added value if it is a normal height refrigerator with freezer since there is more than enough place to place one). Did not provide knife sharpener, scissors kitchen paper and aluminium paper. Dinning table - Good and stable Sofa - 2 person sofa is good and comfort Bathroom - The shower is very soft, doesn't give any satisfaction in taking a shower, the toilet flushing is also not easy, often has to flush a few times in order to get it clean. But the bathroom is clean and big. Would be nice if the shower is in a shower box instead of open style with curtain. Heater - 2 heaters all work very good. Daily changing of towels, very good and clean.

Nice clean room, comfortable bed and well equipped
