Find the Cheap Russell Hotels

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.

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!

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!

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.

Paihia is so big, there is no geographical place to say, live in the circle of the beach, whatever is the same. There is a swimming pool in the hotel, but it is not possible to use it in winter. The room booked by Ctrip was on the first floor, and the light was completely blocked by the pool. It is really uncomfortable to turn on the lights during the day. The room is quite big, and the two-bedroom apartment has a separate bathroom in each room, which is quite convenient. There is a western restaurant on the doorstep of the hotel, and things are delicious.

I arrived after hours which was not a problem at all as they left my keycard in the locked safe outside. The hostel was in a great location and I had a lovely time walking along waterfront and exploring the Lane ways. The hostel was clean and tidy - the best I’ve ever seen for cleanliness. The receptionist was so lovely and I would highly recommend this hostel. They also had designated parking which you could purchase!

My husband and I stayed at Ala Moana for a month (mid-February to mid-March) and were very happy with this accommodation. John is a marvelous, friendly, helpful host, and he and staff member William keep the units clean, fresh, and comfortable. The daily service was more than we needed, but they always checked and offered. John accommodated our requests and went out of his way to be sure we had everything we needed. He even ordered a couple of beach chairs so we could sit in the shade at the beach! (YES! This beach has shade, some benches, and calm, peaceful, protected waters. Whether first thing in the morning or later in the day, it makes for a delightful refreshing swim!) The location directly across from the beach and at most a 5-minute walk to shops, the wharf, and restaurants, was perfect! Some have mentioned the bar next door. Even though it looks like a fun, local place, we knew there was live music some nights, and we wondered if noise would be a problem. At least from our location in #3, noise was NEVER an issue. It was perfectly quiet. We had a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette (no oven or freezer) (unit #3). The bed is very comfortable, the area is spacious, the basics for cooking and dining are provided. (I should note that we didn’t really cook at all, but we brought things in for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks and ate there frequently.) There was a comfy sitting area for reading, doing projects, playing games, enjoying wine and cheese, or watching TV. The decor was simple and tasteful. For us, comfort trumps decor, so we weren’t looking for high-end interior design. Furnishings included a kitchen table with chairs, a coffee table in the sitting room, sofa, day bed, small patio table and chairs on the little deck, plus a fantastic view balcony patio overlooking the bay for shared use (which makes up for the fact that the unit’s deck faces the parking spots). Other shared amenities include washers, dryers, clothesline, ice. Some things that make me especially happy: lots of storage (closets, drawers) to unpack everything, ample towel racks and hooks for wet linens, beach towels, bathing suits, shelves in the bathroom to organize toiletries, plenty of outlets for charging phones, laptop, etc. These are little touches that so many places lack and that greatly enhanced the convenience and enjoyment of our stay. While most guests were there for one night to a few nights, we would definitely recommend it for a short or longer stay and hope to return for 1-2 months again!

Great stay at this motel which is well positioned on the main road and a short walk from the Wharf and bus terminus. Clean, modern hotel with well furnished room - tv/ sky/tea, coffee facilities etc - housekeeping daily. The reception staff are helpful, knowledgeable and lots of tourists info available. I would certainly stay here again and would recommend .

We loved our stay here. Our second floor corner suite had gorgeous views of the bay and sunrise. Fantastic location as it’s a short walk to restaurants, bars, and the ferry wharf. Waitangi is a short drive or walk away. Our suite was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for three nights. The bed was comfortable, and we had plenty of space. Lyn was warm and friendly and gave us good local recommendations. We would happily stay here again!
