Review by hotel critic
Just had another fantastic stay at Motel Russell, and I must say, it's a little gem nestled amidst stunning subtropical gardens. The spacious studio apartment we booked was spotlessly clean, offering all the essentials, including a well-equipped kitchen which was perfect for preparing quick meals before hitting the local bars and restaurants - all just a short walk away! The outdoor pool area was a highlight, complete with a barbecue spot that beckoned for leisurely evenings under the stars. Plus, the exceptional staff made everything smooth sailing - their warm hospitality added a personal touch that truly made us feel at home. And let's not forget, the easy access to the Bay of Islands water tours was a massive bonus; waking up and being just a two-minute stroll from adventure was exhilarating. Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or family, Motel Russell is definitely a place I can see myself returning to for yet another delightful getaway. It's one of those places where the comfort and location come together perfectly, making every beer-fueled adventure that much sweeter! Cheers to that! 🍻.
