We stayed here for 4 nights and used this as our base for exploring the Bay of Islands. As we had the car we found that the onsite car parking was very convenient and there was no charge. The location is close enough to Paihia town but far enough out to be quiet. There are also a few other apartments/hotels... more

The Seaspray Suites is sandwiched between another motel and a very active car repair shop. The few rooms that face the Bay of Islands were booked so we had units in the main body of the motel. They're small but serviceable, clean and adequate - but you have a view out one side of the building directly into the adjacent... more

Booked a 1 bedroom premium suite with AMAZING view - was well worth the extra money - you get what you pay for!!!! Unit was clean, comfortable & quiet with fabulous cooking facilities and dishwasher! Would loved to have stayed longer - can't wait to return. more

I think this is a slight case of false advertising. The Sea Spray Suites website makes this place look fantastic but really its just a glorified motel. Yes the unit was clean and spacious but "nestled in the surrounding bush" is stretching the truth a bit. The "private patio" was adjacent to the walkway that everyone used to access the... more

I definately would not be visiting this Hotel again. I have nothing nice to say about this property. Located right next to car yard and petrol station, so your overlooking car wrecks. No kitchen dining table. and what really ticked me off was that we ran out of plunger coffee and asked for more, when the MANAGER told me and... more

I booked the Sea Spray for a weekend away to celebrate my husbands birthday and our wedding anniversary. The location was good and the rooms were beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean but I was really disappointed that we didn't get a sea front room. I specifically requested a room with a view and balcony but we were placed in one... more

We found Sea Spray Suites to be a very comfortable place to stay. From the pictures on the website, I thought we might have a bit of a sea view, so I was a little surprised at how many units were crammed into the 2 story building, along the side. We had no view at all, not even of the... more

My wife and I really enjoyed our two night stay at Sea Spray Suites. We booked a 1 room unit half way along the block, back from the road. Bery quiet,peaceful in fact!! Fitout was very clean and functional, absolutely spotless and comfortable ! Easy walk to Paihia, just 5 minutes, and excellent beach/playground straight across the road. Great if... more

Initially we worried that the hotel was located too far from the main center of town. But it's only a 5 minute walk away and we discovered that it was much more quiet and peaceful. The beach directly in front of the hotel was also prettier and there is a great playground right across the street. The only downside was... more
