Kawakawa Apart Hotels

"We were assigned to a first floor room but I was on crutches and they hastily changed things around so I was on the ground floor. Appreciated."

"This beautifully restored historic hotel occupies pride of place on the Russell foreshore. It’s charming, and convenient to all the Russell shops and cafes."

"We took our own breakfast. The room was clean, you had everything you needed kitchen shower toilet towells etc. Staff very friendly. "

"Room was clean and tidy. Very basic and a bit tired, but was only a bed for the night so it did the trick. "

"Worth the stay. Great location, close to the beach and shops. Staffs are friendly and accomodating."

"Very clean room, quiet, great staff, lovely restaurant, great pool and spa"

"Lovely staff BUT not a comfortable stay for female alone. Arrived unsure if the hotel was actually functioning as all the lights were off in the smoked glass reception. It was 5.30pm and nearly dark. Discovered there were only 2 other rooms booked. Room was upgraded so larger but layout meant all plug sockets were inaccessible so all had extension leads. Seemed to be a drainage issue - looked and basin v slow. As a lady alone.... Back door needs BOLTs not a twisty know that you can't check if its locked. No outside lighting so when I went out to dinner I had to use phone torch to lock door and to make sure I didn't fall over as no lighting until lane at front. Remote on TV had flat batteries - popped to reception 15 mins after I checked in to find it closed until the morning. The isolation and darkness made me feel vulnerable. Apart from delightful staff and reasonable breakfast, not much I can add!"

"Great stay, a bit dated, otherwise a great stay."

"The noise in the room from other guests was off the charts. There is a central corridor connecting the rooms and all the noise from kids, people talking etc comes straight under the door into the room. I barely slept"
