Facilities that make your Kapiti Coast stays easier
Finding accommodation that works for the whole travelling party, including the dog, the bikes and a load of dirty washing, is not always straightforward on the Kapiti Coast. Many properties handle one or two of those things but not the full picture.
The on-site facilities at Kapiti Gateway Motel are designed to make your stay more comfortable, a warm spa to relax in after a long drive, a guest laundry for longer stays, secure bikes storage, bike and scooter hire options for exploring the area, and garden space for the families and pets to enjoy.

Swim in the pool or soak in the private spa
The outdoor swimming pool sits within a quiet garden setting and is a popular place for guests to relax during the warmer months. Open year-round, it provides a refreshing option for summer swims, lap swimmers and guests looking to enjoy a swim in the cooler months too.
For a warmer soak, the private spa is available daily between 4pm and 8pm, free for guests. It is a good way to ease tired legs after a day on the trails or a long drive.

Park at your door, with room for larger vehicles and bikes
Free parking sits right beside the units, so bags, tools and gear travel only a few steps from the vehicle to the room. Larger work utes, vans and trailers can park onsite, with truck parking available across the road.
If arriving with a truck or trailer, mention the vehicle size when booking so a suitable space can be reserved.
Cyclists have a secure lockup garage for push bikes, handy for anyone riding the ten Stride'n'Ride trails covering over 100 kilometres of the Kāpiti Coast. Bike and scooter hire is also available. Extended work trips suit the property too. See the corporate accommodation page for business options.

In each room, Sky Guest Select brings 50+ channels via an individual decoder, including Sky Movies and Sky Sports. Free unlimited WiFi runs throughout, ideal for streaming, video calls or browsing.
Rooms are non-smoking, with opening windows, and heaters and fans provide temperature control year-round. Room-by-room detail is on the motel rooms and apartments page.
