Very good accommodation in well appointed rooms. Manager was helpful and courteous. Relaxed atmosphere surrounded by gardens, good barbeque set up.

We had a one bedroom studio on the 1st floor of the main block (room 16). Although it was clean and the bed was comfortable, there wasn't room to swing a cat! Most of the equipment needed renewing. At 160 NZ$ for 1 night this was one of the most expensive places and least value for money that we stayed... More

Great Stay. This is a quiet motel a bit off the main center of the Russell village. The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our family and very clean. The grounds and gardens are well kept and picturesque pool was well received by the kids and adults. I was very impressed with the hosts who went out of their way... More

We enjoyed our stay in a spacious studio with king bed. The room was very clean and well presented. The managers were friendly and helpful. The pool is nice and is set in a lovely garden area with a barbeque which we used for some yummy local oysters. The breakfast was great. We would definitely stay here again.

We chose Motel Russell for its central position and reasonable cost and we were most impressed on both counts.

Motel Russell is a nicely arranged motel with different sizes of units in several sections and a good amount gardens and space in between. We had a one bedroom apartment which was well equiped and very clean. Overall we were quite impressed and the manager was pleasant and made us feel right at home and the price was reasonable.

This is a great motel for groups. We had several apartments with kitchens located together with a common outdoor area to share. Everything was just right and in good condition. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We liked it and recommend.

Good size rooms, nice and clean reasonable price and nice short walk to restaurants.
