We came across this motel while touring North Island. We were looking for a nice quiet location in which to relax for a few days - Wrights by the sea was perfect for this. Lyn was very friendly & helpful. The accomadation excellent & only a few minutes walk from the beach, cafes & shops. Perfect!

We found this motel by accident, but we found it to be clean, quiet and Lynn was very friendly. Easy walking to restaurants, and very close to the beach. I would stay there again

My family and I have stayed there for 1 night. The room was spacoius (2 floors), with real beds for all 5 of us. (instead of opening sofas which is quite common in most motels).

We stayed three very pleasant nights at Wrights by the Sea. It's very clean, modern and the kitchen was well equipped - great for cooking for our family of four. The proprietor was friendly and helpful, too. Highly recommended.

We stayed at this motel with our South African friends over the time of the Rugby World Cup quarter Finals in Wellington. The motel was fully booked at this time, and we found the host Lynne to be most helpful and friendly. The motel is well positioned and was very clean and comfortable. We were easily able to catch the... More
