| At Kingsgate Hotel The Avenue we excel at catering for private events and we are "designer caterers" for your wedding. When the occasion calls for stylish surroundings and personal yet professional service, the staff will ensure that your function proceeds perfectly to plan. If you use our venue for your wedding, the bride and groom will have the Executive Studio for their wedding night, with our compliments.
The Dickens room has a built-in bar and enjoys direct access to a small glassed-in conservatory, the swimming pool, barbeque and picnic area. Guests appreciate the convenience of accommodation, meals and function facilities at one venue.
For a unique experience consider holding your function on a riverboat. The Waimarie is New Zealand's last authentic paddle steamer and there are daily cruises on this 100-year-old vessel which was salvaged from a muddy grave and restored to its former glory.

Welcome to Kingsgate Hotel The Avenue. I know you will be impressed once you take a look around at what we have to offer here at our environmentally-friendly hotel and conference centre.
As soon as you pass through our front gates, past the magnificent palm tree which has been an icon here for more than 20 years, you will notice how relaxing and inviting this hotel is. With friendly staff greeting you as you walk in the main doors, you will feel welcome right away. Once you have settled into your comfortable room, why not take a few minutes to relax in the Mixx Bar and Cafe or order yourself a meal from our award winning restaurant. Everything you need is right here.
If you do feel like venturing into town, Kingsgate Hotel The Avenue is perfectly placed on the main road into Wanganui, just a ten minute walk from the central business area, arts and cultural centres and sports venues.
In 2004 Wanganui's dramatic landscape became the setting for the historic adventure movie River Queen which was set in the turbulent New Zealand wars of the 1860s. Hundreds of Wanganui people were involved in all facets of its production. When you stay with us we invite you to rent our DVD player to watch this exciting movie in the comfort of your room.
