The Manager - Tristan is amazing he checks on you ensures that you have everything you need and helped my sister in law and i unload the car. The place has been renovated and is amazing clean and tidy
As we stayed in the suite that is for those with mobility issues the one thing we struggled with is the couch as it is far too low. It needs extra height under the squabs. The shower is lacking pressure however it did the job

The room & facilities were very well planned. Plenty of space & cooking facilities for two people. Large comfortable bed with lovely crisp linen. Lovely little ‘Table & chairs’ area in room for dining. We were very happy with the facilities offered with this motel & would absolutely recommend it. Short distance from the lovely, cute town of Russell ( either walking or driving).

Tristan is the host with the most. We were pampered and made to feel at home. The property is beautiful. The swimming pool was just right. The laundry had everything you needed. The bed was so comfortable. Great shower with excellent water pressure.
There was nothing to dislike.

Was a fantastic place with a beautiful non chlorinated pool and brand new decks, out door tables. All the beds and linen was brand-new. Tristan, the manager was lovely and very accommodating. Only two minutes walk to the historic Chuch, and four minutes to the waterfront highly recommend

Lovely motel right in the heart of Russell. All mod cons provided. An added bonus was we were able to bring our dog at no extra cost.

Location was perfect and so is the staff
The shower roses are very old and have little pressure. The single bedrooms with 2 beds have not power points next to the bed so nowhere to charge phones etc

Tristan was very welcoming. Place is recently renovated, very clean and modern. Didn't use the wifi so cant comment on that. Location is very good, a 5 minute walk into the town centre.

It was close to a home where we were attending a gathering that night but for a tourist it was on a main road and no water views. It was handy having a full kitchen so we could make our own breakfast.
It was a bit overpriced we felt.

Location. Clean. Comfortable.
Small bottle of milk on arrival would have been nice - to have with tea & coffee provided. Ice tray in freezer would also have been good.
