B&Bs in Russell

We liked Bellrock Lodge and this little village so much, we even extended our stay! :) It is worth staying longer in Kororareka Russell and especially at Bellrock Lodge, so let us tell you why: Bellrock Lodge is situated on a little hill (if you walk, there are a few steep meters) and because of that, you will have the most amazing views from your terrace over the coast. On clear days you will even see as far as Waitangi. The apartment and the terrace are quite spacious, even the bathroom offers more than usual space in rental properties. It is very nice equipped. The garden is beautiful so you also see beautiful garden greenery from the terrace. The hosts Catherine and Stuart are very kind and responded fast via WhatsApp. Their sweet dog Piper was also a great host and excited to offer play time with her favorite football and such :D Catherine and Stuart were always very hospitable, so for instance, if you get in a morning rain like us, getting new towels is easy peasy, just a message/call away ;-) The Lodge offers great amendities: laundry, dryer, DVD Library (great selection, we loved it), CD and Book Library aswell... To top it off, the Whirlpool and BBQ area are great, with superb views also. We loved to enjoy the Spa, especially on rainy days. In addition to that, we highly appreciated how thoughtful everything is equipped, there are umbrellas in the driveway, wineglasses from plastic for the Spa, different chairs (even comfy reading/TV chairs), more than 2 different towel sizes and many more things like that.. We have travelled a lot and Bellrock Lodge is one of our favorites. You nearly forget, that you are at a self-service accomendation because everything is so thoughtfully done. Thank you Catherine & Stuart! P.s. It is worth staying longer, you can experience a lot in the area, walk to the beaches from Bellrock if you want to, get groceries and have great restaurants/cafés in town.

Beautifully located and very clean accommodation with all you need plus a few extras The breakfast is the best! Hosts Nigel and Carole warmly welcomed us and were very helpful and informative on the local knowledge Thank you Nigel for your recommendation on the farmers market today and the Makana chocolate shop we thoroughly enjoyed both

The view and the little private patio was nice to eat out on

This is a special place to stay - the views from our room over the bay were spectacular. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and exploring the islands. Brita and Heinz are generous hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was spacious and well equipped. This has to be one of the best places I have stayed.

Wonderful hosts welcomed us to our own private oasis, overlooking the water and with a beautifully serene spa to use. Comfortable bed and furnishings and thoughtful touches like refrigerated water and cookies made our stay extra special.

The hostess and host were so kind and welcoming! The B&B was beautifully situated in between an orchard and a lovely garden. The tips for what to visit in the area, recommended to us by the hostess, were really good and worth visiting! The fireplace, tennis court and hot tub just completed our stay entirely. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to everyone!

Lovely balcony, tucked amongst the trees. Easy walk to the river trail, as well as Plough and Feather and the stone store. Shared kitchen spacious with great DIY breakfast.

Absolutely loved staying here , so cozy and warm. The little details make a big difference. It was pouring with rain when we got there and the host pre heated it for us can't thank you enough.

Very quiet within walking distance of the beach. Nice view from upper balcony Very comfortable with plenty to visit in the region

Debbie our host was a lovely lady, very respectful and welcoming. The bed was so comfortable I was asleep just after my head hit the pillow !! Had all the facilities we needed and was so peaceful and private.I can highly recommend this location and thank you to Debbie for being such a great host 👏
