We really liked it here. It was a fun place to stay. They are holiday flats – it’s not a resort. No pool or restaurant or room service. Still, it’s pretty well equipped and the staff were nice. It’s very close to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, which are a must-see. It’s a nice easy walk to the main part of... More

Motel is across the road from a beautiful beach with wonderful views. We were on the ground floor, where cars were parked, which hinder our view. The motel had all the necessary convinces, (fridge, microwave, cooker etc) A laundry facility within the complex. The rooms were clean and tidy, beds large and comfortable. We stayed three nights, and could have... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. We booked a 1 bedroom deluxe room. It comes with a queen size bed (semi firm), a complete kitchen (medium size refrigerator with freezer) with a dishwasher (with detergent), stove, microwave/oven combo, plates, utensils, etc. A/C with remote control is only in the living room. Many lodgings in NZ comes without A/C. 2 TVs, DVD... More

I've stayed here 3 separate occasions and I'm shocked to see it ranked one the bottom half of hotels in the area. I don't see what the big deal about a sea view is, the beach is 50 feet away and peaceful. Everyone in this town has always been so nice warm and friendly from my experience and I love... More

After a mistake made by our travel agent we booked a deluxe suite as she told us it would have sea views. After travelling for 8 hours and arriving late in the evening we were horrified to discover that we had paid high rates for what was essentially a motel room with a fabulous view of cars that could drive...

We arrived at the Sea Spray after a lovely drive from Auckland. We were not disappointed with the spaciousness and quality of the apartments. We even were allowed to change the originally allocated apartment with the help of a very friendly receptionist. Supermarket around the corner and the Treaty Grounds at the "end of the road". Beach across the road.... More

Finding reasonably priced accomodation in the first week of the year left us few choices, but the Sea Spray Suites ticked most of our boxes. We specified Sea Views and got a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was very well appointed, good kitchen and bathroom, good sized living area and balcony, and a comfortable sleep for two couples. Town centre... More

This was actually our last resort accomodation since most of the hotels in the area were fully booked because of the golf tournament. Although its a bit isolated, 10-15 minute walk to the town centre, we really didn't mind because there was a dairy beside it and there was a Chinese take-away shop sitting just by the corner. I was... More

An otherwise pleasant stay was marred by a lady at reception insisting we pay $10 for a wi-fi internet service that wasn't working (this was confirmed by the intenet service provider.) Such a shame for the sake of $10. The rooms to the side can also be quite noisey with limited views. More
