“Absolutely amazing!! I loved the guided walk and learned so much about Māori culture!! However, the only thing that made this trip worth it was our tour guide, Ngati (NA • tsi). He was so kind and knowledgeable. He even knew the Māori cultural meaning of every object. He also walked us through the Māori prayers for safety before and after the walk. If the New Zealand weather catches you by surprise, don’t worry, because Ngati will hand you anything he has to help.Strongly recommend requesting him for your Hell’s Gate guided walk.”

“We were on a school trip, and the kids loved it. Warm enough to not get cold, but not too warm either. Lots of fun activities for kids, and saunas and spa pools are wonderful, a little bit expensive but well worth it. 5 stars from me”

“Well kept paths and gardens and you can hire a golf cart if needed. Cute ponds dotted around and a good variety of healthy looking birds. You can buy small bags of bird feed and we saw lots of adorable chicks. The cafe is great and we enjoyed THE BEST Devonshire tea I’ve ever had in New Zealand. All staff are friendly and helpful. Would visit again.”

“On the day of our visit, the weather wasn’t really on our side – but it turned out not to be a problem at all. Marnie, with his great energy, explained everything clearly and concisely before we set off on the walk. We actually ended up spending about half an hour longer than estimated, simply because we enjoyed it so much. Along the way, we spotted many black teals and swans, as well as cormorants and other interesting birds. The path also takes you through a beautiful redwood forest, which made the experience even more special. I understand it may not be for everyone, but I believe anyone who appreciates nature will find the entrance fee well worth it.”

“We had a great stay. The rooms were clean, tidy and spacious. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful which was appreciated. The security was brilliant with keyed access only and a car park which was undercover and secure. Location was close to shops but far enough away to remove ourselves from the crowds. A leisurely 5 minute stroll down to all the restaurants and bars which was great. 2 min walk to beach - amazing. Thanks for hosting us and see you again soon”

“A muddy trail with sometimes going off trail cause of fallen trees. The orange arrows make it easy to follow the track. It was a hard walk with a lot of meters up. But beautiful nature. You can fill your drink bottles in one of the little water streams. As long as water is running it's all good. And it taste yummy as well.”

“Nice little park within walking distance of Gate Pa shopping centre. The playground here has good activities for kids from 1-10 including slides, trampoline, swings and a climbing net. It is relatively quiet, and has a nice sealed walk way around it which is good for bikes and scooters. There is a good parking spot behind the park just off Church Road if you prefer to avoid parking on Cameron Rd (or if it is full). The park is also very accessible - both with the aforementioned walkway (footpath from Cameron Rd all the way to each of the play areas) and a wheelchair accessible picnic table. Also good for pushchairs.”
