Whether your visit to Westport is for leisure or business, we would love to be your hosts.

We offer quality 4 star standard self contained and serviced accommodation.   Experience our unique West Coast style and service and make your visit to Westport one to remember.  Clean, warm, comfortable and tastefully decorated units to suit all groups of travellers, ranging from studios to 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with 2 bathrooms.   Some units have spa baths.   Wireless internet is available.

Welcome to Chelsea Gateway Motor Lodge. 

Chelsea Gateway Motor Lodge is a large and spacious complex of 20 units, with ample off-street parking and easy manoeuvrability.   There is a children’s play area with swings and a trampoline.   The first 30 minutes of wireless internet during your stay is free of charge to allow you to access e-mails. 

We enjoy meeting the diverse range of guests we host, who come from throughout New Zealand and many other countries – more than 60 in all over the last 3 years.   We both have many years experience in management, sales and customer service and take pride in consistently presenting our units to a high standard.   Our aim is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and will assist in any way we can during your visit. 

Roger is a keen amateur photographer.   The photographs displayed in the units, all of which have been taken in the South Island of New Zealand, mainly on the West Coast and in the Nelson Lakes area, are all his work.   

We take our responsibility to minimize our environmental footprint seriously, undertaking initiatives which include the use of environmentally friendly cleaning products and toiletries and minimization of waste by recycling, amongst many others.

The property is located on the main road in to Westport, close to the town centre and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and takeaway food outlets.  The Yellow House Cafe & Restaurant is directly opposite the motel. 

 The Northern West Coast/Buller region is bounded by two National Parks, Paparoa and Kahurangi , and is home to many unique must-see attractions.   If your itinerary allows, we strongly recommend that you consider a stay of at least two nights in order to take in as many as possible of these.  

As accommodation in Westport is often in high demand, advance booking, especially in peak season, is advised.   If you are travelling on business, ask about our corporate rates.

We look forward to your stay with us and hope that you will leave feeling that you have sampled a little of the atmosphere of this unique and beautiful area of New Zealand.
