Days 30,31, 32 and 33

DAY 30 Friday. A slobby morning and then our 'train for Spain' walk. This time we drove to Waitangai, just a little way up the coast and parked the car and then walked to a waterfall. I know what it is I love about NZ - there is just nothing threatening here! I was Norah the Explorer again, trekking through the bush and then through a mangrove swamp and whereas anywhere else, especially Florida or definitely Oz, I'd let Stan lead the way to scare off any predators, here I just charge ahead wi...

The week with Claire and Mikki at the rental house, Coopers Sands, has been a big success. It is getting time for them come out from under the parental wing to strike out on their own, We drive back down towards Auckland. This is the Saturday after Christmas and is clearly the day of the big Kiwi holiday getaway. The long school holidays in Australia and New Zealand are from late December to February. We pass a lot of traffic heading in the other direction, some of the cars towing huge boats....

The Motor Trade

It is a big day today as we are going to help the girls buy a van to carry them round New Zealand. Every Sunday there is a second hand car market in Auckland at Ellerslie Racecourse and it is apparently an ideal place to pick up backpacker transport. Their plan is to buy a small van with a platform in it for a mattress allowing room for storage undeneath. Claire has researched it and is confident that she will get something for less than their joint budget. I am rather pessimistic about how t...

Historical Traveler Reviews of The Sebel Suites Auckland

Good Location, poor room choice

from A TripAdvisor Member
The location of the hotel is great by the harbor, however it dosen't help unless you get a room facing the harbor. Our room faced a parking lot across the street. Recommend booking a harbor view room. Other wise hotel was a good experience.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

from MrsMay05
My husband and I had only one night in Auckland before flying to Fiji and chose to stay at The Sebel Suites because it was near the Harbour and the bars and restaurants.

We thought the hotel was fantastic. Staff were really friendly and so helpful, and even though we were only staying one night we had a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us in our room because we were honeymooners.

The room itself was great with a large bathroom with separate shower and bath, big double bed, TV, stereo and DVD player. It had a kitchen area and a washing machine and a dryer. We even had a small balcony with great views of the Sky Tower.

Location wise it took us about 30 secs to walk to the Harbour area where there are loads of bars and restaurants. Can't comment on how accessible it is to other areas of Auckland as we didn't have the time to explore further.

We would love to go back and spend more time in Auckland and we would definitely stay here again.

Great room

from KDK
We had a 1 bedroom suite at the Sebel and it was fantastic! It was a corner room so we had 2 large windows. It came with a refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop, and washer/dryer. The furnishings were in very good condition. The staff was only average on service.

The only problem we had with the hotel was upon arrival. We arrived at the hotel at 5:30 am after flying from Los Angeles. We had requested an early check-in but there were unable to grant it. Our room was vacated but not cleaned. Since it was a Saturday there wasn't much we could do at that hour so we sat in their lobby until 10 am when our room was finally ready.

We liked the location on the Viaduct - lots of good bars and restaurants right outside the door. We would stay in this hotel again on our next visit.

Great location and staff

from A TripAdvisor Member
I booked this hotel based on reviews from this site and was not disappointed. The hotel is fabulously located near the harbor and was an easy walk to restaurants and ferries. The rooms were a welcome respite from more rustic accommodations in other parts of the country and the in-room washer and dryer were definitely appreciated! I would highly recommend this hotel for its convenience and it is considerably less expensive than the nearby Hilton.

Oh dear

from A TripAdvisor Member
Whilst I concur with previous reveiwers with regard to the quality of the suites and staff at the Hotel I believe I read one review that mentioned noise! We specifically asked for a Harbour View. If any future users consider this option they should be prepared for sleepless nights, well at least until 3am in the morning anyway. We had unfortunately chosen our first night's stay that coincided with an "All Blacks" Game in Europe whitch reulted in a 2-30am kickoff on Auckland TV the result was a night that sleep wasn't possible until 5-45am in the morning. Our assumption that this was an exception but no, the average quiet time was as I previous 3am. Be warned!!

Great location & amazing views

from cstevenson71
The Sebel Suites is in a great location, within easy walking distance of the ferry building, SkyTower, restaurants, etc. Our flight landed at the crack of dawn, and they kindly let us check in early. All of the rooms have a washer/dryer and kitchenette which is a big plus. We stayed there at both the beginning and the end of our trip, and the second night we paid for a room with view which was worth it, especially given the weekend rates are lower. My only minor complaint is that the bar scene below got a bit rowdy late Saturday night (go figure), so we stuck in ear plugs and were soon asleep.

Beautifully furnished suites

from katrinawehipeihana
Beautifully furnished suites with lots of little

extra touches. We booked a package which

included breakfast and with a suite overlooking

the boat harbour. Would recommend this

package as the breakfast was the best ever.

Just a couple of complaints - the entrance and

parking hard to find, we stayed on a saturday

night and were awakened by night club patrons

making their way home.

Great hotel, great staff

from A TripAdvisor Member
I have stayed at the Sebel Suites in Auckland many times over the past three years. The rooms and views are first class and the service has been great and very consistent. The Hotel has a nice arrangement with the Mecca Cafe along Viaduct Basin in which you can charge meals to your room.

The health club, Tepid Bath is across the road and very convenient.

I would recommend this Hotel above all others that I have stayed in Auckland and look forward to each visit.

Outstanding

from A TripAdvisor Member
The best hotel I have ever stayed in! (and I have stayed in many 5* around the world). Our room overlooked the bustling marina, where the Americas Cup preparations were in full swing. Fantastic room complete with self catering style facilities such as washing machine, tumble drier fridge etc. 2 TVS, very comfy lounge area and the most amazing bathroom I have had the pleasure to use. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic

from A TripAdvisor Member
An excellent location and sumptuosly furnished, these suites are the best I've stayed in. Fall out of your room into the heart of the America's Cup Village. All of the rooms are well appointed and you cannot beat the location. Good base to explore the city from, and really friendly people.
