Had a lovely stay at Wrights by the sea - lovely clean room - really comfortable bed. .Nice Decor.. Fabulous friendly staff, could not do enough for us. Perfect spot to enjoy all that Kapiti has to offer - really reasonable. Could not fault it.
-Sandra
Stayed here for 2 weeks travelling from Auckland for work training. Cant say anything wrong about this place. The gentleman on the front desk was a superstar. He was so helpful the entire 2 weeks, my room was cleaned daily. You have everything you need near and inside the room, there was no need for me to have a car and travel. Bed was comfy, shower was what was needed after a long day at work. Beach is 2 minutes away so would be perfect place to stay in summer and the shops are on the next street over so basics from four square and fish n chips were right there for my convenience. Thank you so much for the beautiful stay, will definitely be back with my tribe.
-Kathleen
We came through quite late and the motel had organised to leave the room unlocked for us- which was brilliant. When we got in the curtains were drawn and the place was well set up for tired travellers. The price is really good for what is a pretty large floor plan including outdoor balcony. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet with plenty of parking. The only shame was the weather - the pouring rain meant we didn’t get to visit the nearby beach. Would definitely recommend for a cheap and comfortable stay.
