Absolutely perfect, this was without a doubt the best accommodation we had during our two week New Zealand holiday. Sea Breeze has been newly renovated and the attention to detail was excellent.

Room overlooked "Caroline Bay" & the beach. Ideally located, walking distance to some excellent cafe's and the main town centre & beach. Room was clean and tidy, bathroom and shower was OK. Linen & cutlery provided also clean. No issues at all.

This is definitely a budget accommodation. The location was good with parking and an easy walk into town/beach. The road noise was quite bad and even with the windows and door closed it felt as if the cars were right next to our room. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The view was so good! Just to chill at the windows and see the beautiful ocean was very relaxing. Alhena was very communicative and instructions for keys etc was very helpful. The apartment was so well equipped with milk, coffee, bathroom extras. The Deco features were very cool with different coloured lights. 3 TV's had Netflix and other streaming channels. On our last night we walked down to the beach to see the Penguins, there were about 15-20 of them. Such a great experience. We highly recommend Alhena and Carl's place 😁👍
