Russell-Orongo Bay Holiday Park
3.7/523 Reviews
The Holiday Park is very well located on the access road to Russel. However, you still have to drive 5 minutes to the town. Russel itself is a great little town that also offers beautiful beaches. The Holiday Park has a pool and several outdoor seating areas which are nice. Some of the cabins also have outdoor seating with a table and a lounge area. The cabins became unbearably hot throughout the day. It was only in the evening that the air in there was bearable. Ventilation was difficult because there was no draft. The fan didn't help much either. The other facilities such as the kitchen, indoor common area and bathroom are a bit old and need a little more attention. You shouldn't expect too much there. But the basic equipment is there. Since the accommodation relies on tank water supply, we had an incident where we had no water for 2-3 hours until we informed the owners. The internet is limited to 500MB per device per day, which bothered us a bit. The park wants to make additional money here and sells data passes.
The Captains Motel
4.4/512 Reviews
Our family has just had the most incredible week staying at Motel Russell and we cannot recommend the facilities and hosts highly enough! Wendy, James and Linda are AMAZING hosts - unbelievably friendly and helpful, super accommodating to our needs and truly genuine people. The accommodation is warm, quiet and comfortable, and is kept spotlessly clean at all times - as are the rest of the facilities (including a gorgeous pool and BBQ area). It was also brilliant having access to a washing machine and dryer to use while we were away. Located at short, flat walk to all nearby restaurants, shops and the wharf, Motel Russell is ideally situated. It was the perfect family holiday and we will definitely be back for another relaxing week at Motel Russell soon. Thanks once again James, Wendy and Linda - we absolutely loved our time here with you all!
The Duke of Marlborough
4.4/597 Reviews
We had a wonderful long weekend at the Duke. We had beautiful meals, lovely rooms and sitting by the fire, reading and drinking made for a great stay. Our rooms were clean and well presented which was excellent and all the staff were top notch people. Will do it again one day!
Bellrock Lodge
4.8/537 Reviews
The property overlooks the little village and our room had water views as well. It is secluded and quiet and an easy stroll into the village- be prepared to walk off your dinner on return as it is uphill! The owners were welcoming and friendly offering recommendations as requested and local knowledge. The room was spacious and decorated and fitted to a very high standard The shower pressure was amazing and plenty of hot water. The bathroom had double basins and a bidet along with heated towel racks. There was a kitchenette that provided ample options for staying in and cooking along with a draw dishwasher. The Nespresso machine was appreciated. We loved the fact that there were comfortable lounge chairs as well as a veranda with table and chairs. The king size bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. A nice touch were the robes. There is a guest laundry available which we used and it was clean and everything provided for a nominal cost. DVDs were available there as were books for guests . We would love to stay longer next time as 2 nights was not enough. These are passionate hosts who know how to run an establishment. From our many trips to both Islands from across the ditch this establishment is up there with the best.
