Kingsgate Hotel Beachcomber, Nelson

Advantages: Reasonable price, reasonable quality!
Disadvantages: Not perfect, and rubber eggs!

...Last year at a time when things were particularly stressful my mum emailed me to say that a friend was getting married and that them, me and hubby, and a couple and their son (him, the groom and myself grew up together) were going to be invited - and that the wedding was going to be in Jersey as that is where the bride's family are from. It was great to have something to look forward to and some good news, so once we had the dates we searched the Internet for places to stay.

Advantages: comfortable quiet rooms,hotel situated conveniently for access to the City CBD, and 20 minutes maximum from Auckland International Airport
Disadvantages: poor timing on our part, we arrived at reception early evening just after 2 parties,quite a wait as a result

...We arrived at Auckland International Airport from Fiji in late afternoon.It took a while to clear immigration and customs,and ,more prolonged, to clear the checks of the NZ Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Quarantine service, as we had 2 wood based gift products purchased in Nadi. Hire car,courtesy of EZY,was picked up from the airport information desk and airport car park. The 3 star hotel was reached via an easy drive on good quality dual carriageway roads ( the South Western Motorway and Hugh Watt Drive) in 20 minutes, and through the Royal Oak district. Greenlane is a pleasant leafy residential suburb of Auckland, adjacent to Cornwall park. There is a good bus service into central Auckland, and importantly the hotel is well placed for access to the Southern Motorway which we used to head south to Rotorua... Read review

Advantages: Close to the sea, close to most of the golf courses

...I've been staying in this hotel on a regular basis for about a year now. So, I feel I do have the authority to write about the hotel.

To make a reservation ------------------------------ There are several ways to make a reservation. One of them is to call them up to ask for a quote for a room and to make... Read review
