Thank you for your service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Exceptional Stay in Beautiful Bay of Islands! We recently spent four nights at this stunning property in Russell, New Zealand, and everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The facilities were top-notch: clean, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Whether we were relaxing in our villa, enjoying the scenic surroundings, or taking advantage of the amenities, everything was impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed. What really stood out was the staff—they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, they made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and explore the beauty of New Zealand North Island. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!

The room is nicely decorated, clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable, there was a nespresso machine and a small fridge. The location of the hotel was great for what we wanted it, which was across the street from the Town Hall. The room had a spacious sitting area. However, the bathroom was quite small. The space between the bed and TV to go to the bathroom was very tight and the view from the window… well, the worse we have ever had in a hotel. There was no view because the windows were frosted due to the fact that outside was some horrible area of the building where the aircon duct was located, or at least we believed so. Of course, with frosted windows, the lighting wasn’t great. The worse thing about the hotel was the buffet breakfast during the weekend. There was nothing redeemable about it. Like the view, it was the worst breakfast I have ever had to pay for. We had stayed at the hotel once before and the room, of the same kind was much better, so I suppose we were unlucky with the room we got this time.
