"It was awesome. We really liked it . Me and my wife recommend sea spray suites to anybody who visits Paihia for a holiday . Cheers "

"Absolutely excellent accomodation. Wonderful customer service. As we were staying a bit longer Quinn gave us the suite with dual aspect. Such awesome views over the Bay of Islands. The balcony was put to good use. Our suite was very spacious & exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed. Couldn't ask for more. A short walk to bars, cafes, eateries & shops. So much to do in the area. Such a beautiful area, but then New Zealand is all gorgeous! We totally recommend the Breakwater Motel to anyone visiting the Bay of Islands. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thanks so much to our hosts. "

"This is such a lovely retreat, all credit to manager Kelly and her family. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and it was much appreciated. The refurbished rooms were nice, clean and warm and the private shower was awesome. We had an awesome time and were lucky to see two kiwi on the grass near the bush even though it was raining, and we heard lots more. It was really magical!"

"Great hotel, very clean and well presented. Comfortable bed, very spacious unit. Would highly recommend staying here"

"It was a truly great setting"

"The Duke has a wonderful restaurant with great views of the bay. Such a pretty spot. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Exceptional Stay in Beautiful Bay of Islands! We recently spent four nights at this stunning property in Russell, New Zealand, and everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The facilities were top-notch: clean, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Whether we were relaxing in our villa, enjoying the scenic surroundings, or taking advantage of the amenities, everything was impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed. What really stood out was the staff—they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, they made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and explore the beauty of New Zealand North Island. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!"
