“Great Weekend escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

From the outside they look like cute two story cottages, inside they have all the features of a modern house. There is everything in these cottages that you would need. Great for a weekend escape or for a getaway with friends. They are great in winter when you want to get in front of the 'fire'. Russell is just a short ferry ride across and you can take your car. Everything in Russell is close so you can wonder around the village easily by foot. There is a small four square and a fish and chip shop near buy if you don't bring food. The winery in Russell is good also. The cottage has everything you need to cook and there are all the things you need to relax as if you are in your own house. The rooms are well decorated, each if different. You can have as many rooms as you like up to four. So it suits all sizers groups. Bathrooms and bedrooms are well designed.

Room Tip: All cottages are good.

“Lovely accommodation, highly recommended.”

Russell cottages are beautifully decorated, with all the latest gadgets and gizmos. A great location, just a short walk from the waterfront/town this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We hired a three bedroom cottage which had good size rooms and comfortable beds with fantastic decor. The cottage had a large garden and guests have access to a secure outdoor swimming pool and hot tub - heaven! The apartments are serviced daily and they even do the washing up! It's an expensive option but if you're looking for a bit of luxury, this is the place for you.

“best accommodation in Russell”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Stayed in Russell for 4 nights and cottages were a real bargain. One couple in a four bedroom house at $195 per night was a steal. Accommodation quality was excellent, service excellent, good swimming pool and attention to detail.

“Fantastic value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

We stayed in a 3 bed/3 bathroom cottage with my parents and 2 young adult children. My parents had the King bedroom downstairs (with ensuite) so they had their own space and we had the upstairs area with Queen bedroom (with ensuite) and Twin Room with another bathroom. Finish and quality of the villa was fantastic. The living areas, balcony and outdoor furniture were brilliant. Just a block away is the Russell village and all the attractions. Couldn't recommend it more. We wouldn't even consider another property should we head this way again.

“Russell Cottages - well located, very stylish and very comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed two nights at Russell Cottages and were very impressed with the decor and the whole surrounding gardens. The cottages are very well situated within easy walking distance to the main attractions of Russell. They are stylishly furnished and very warm with gas fires, fully equiped kitchen and plenty of room in the living area. Would recommend these cottages to anyone travelling to Russell. I would recommend these cottages as ideal for a group travelling together.
