Really enjoyed our two nights here. We were travelling with another couple and our 8 year old son. The three bedroom cottages were great, had two bathrooms plus a powder room. A block from town/the wharf and the lovely little restaurants of Russell. We were at the tail end of the holiday period so it was $400 a night -... more

Russell is one of my favourite all time locations. We stayed for three days out of our 3 week tour of NZ and loved every minute of it. The Russell Cottages are fabulous. We stayed in a 3 bed cottage which had 2 bathrooms, a kitchen/living/dining room, a downstairs toilet and utility room and a lovely outside sitting area. The... more

We got friendly service and enjoyed our cottage with its good kitchen and plenty of space. Our two little kids liked the spa (the pool was too cold), the games and books in the common room, and the playground was ok. We hadn't realised the cottages are so much of their own little island apart from Russell, but they're very... more

We booked a cottage for New Year and on the day we flew to NZ (3 weeks after we made the booking) we were advised the owners wished to use the property and we would have to find an alternative. Totally unprofessional and unhelpful, didn't even offer to help us find an alternative. more

A comfortable, modern, spacious place to stay. We loved our visit here, the cottages are within easy walking distance to everything in Russell and the wharf to catch the ferries and boat tours. The rooms were very comfortable, 5* facilities and a perfect home from home. The only criticism we had was that despite there being an open gas fire,... more

We have done a lot of travelling and this is some of the best accommodation we have stayed in. The cottages are spacious and very comfortable and the service is superb. I can't praise them highly enough. We initially booked for two nights as, being winter, we wanted to see what the weather would be like, and we wanted to... more

We were delighted with the quality and comfort of the accommodation. Exceptionally well appointed, beautiful furnishings. As there was only my husband and me, we booked a one-bedroom. However, the cottage we stayed in had 4-bedrooms. They lock the upstairs bedrooms (3) and bathroom, giving you the entire ground floor which has the master bedroom and ensuite - still very... more

We loved Russell Cottages from our first stay in Jan 08 - Real home from home ! The cottages are a five minute walk from Russell waterfront and the Pool and BBQ hut is a treat, with condiments available for guests to use - free of charge. The cottages are beautiful and very well equipped. The small outside areas are... more

A lovely place to stay - relaxing, special, like a luxurious home away from home with all the mod-cons. Walking distance to the shops/restaurants/ferry. Nice pool/spa/BBQ area. We will be returning soon more
