REVIEWS FOR BELLROCK LODGE

We booked for one night as an unexpected change to our itinerary and were seriously impressed by Bellrock Lodge. Lovely spacious rooms with outside space and stunning views. Everything was clean, modern and comfortable and the owners had thought of everything you could possibly need. We were delighted and would happily have stayed longer.

Small scale establishment with clean, modern rooms including compact kitchen. No detail or gadget overlooked. Laundry facilities available to guests as well as a hot tub and BBQ area Our hosts were helpful and discreet. Beds super comfortable, generous sized balconies with a fabulous view over idyllic Russell and the bay. Parking on site and a short walk into the village. A great find!

The location was stunning, Bellrock lodge outdoes its photos. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily book to stay again in a heartbeat! Stuart and Catherine were friendly and accommodating and gave us good local recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed a breakfast dip in the tub and the deck was private and peaceful with an amazing view. Thank you!

We only stayed one night; wish we could have stayed for longer. The accommodation was immaculate, every tiny detail had been thought of including milk and water in the fridge. There was a lovely balcony to sit out and enjoy the beautiful view and the bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. It was beautifully appointed, super clean and modern and in a very short walking distance to everything in Russell. Will definitely be back.

This was such a gem! Lovely studio with beautiful views over Russell, spacious, cosy and very clean. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host is very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to all future guests! Thanks so much for your amazing hospitality!

Excellent place to stay - the location, the views, all the little thoughtful details of everything you need and also stuff that made one's stay even more pleasant (mosquito spray, milk in the fridge for coffee). The hosts were so friendly and helpful too. Can't recommend this place enough. The room was also so cozy and comfortable- and the balcony a delight! I definitely be back to stay again.

Great location, just up the hill from Russell town centre. Good views from balcony over the Bay. Spacious room, good quality products provided, comfortable bed. Separate laundry available for 5NZD. Friendly welcome from Catherine and Stuart. Rooms not serviced daily, but that suited us, and items were provided immediately on request.

The property overlooks the little village, and our room had water views as well. It is secluded and quiet and an easy stroll into the village. The room was spacious and decorated and fitted to a very high standard The shower pressure was amazing and plenty of hot water. The bathroom had double basins and a bidet along with heated towel racks. There was a kitchenette that provided ample options for staying in and cooking along with a draw dishwasher. The Nespresso machine was appreciated. We loved the fact that there were comfortable lounge chairs as well as a veranda with table and chairs. The king size bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. We would love to stay longer next time as 2 nights was not enough.
These are passionate hosts who know how to run an establishment.
From our many trips to both Islands from across the ditch this establishment is up there with the best!

Stunning. Absolutely recommend staying at this beautiful place. Absolutely stunning. We were so thrilled with our stay. Lovely host greeted us upon arrival. Our room was set out so beautifully. Absolutely everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Loved absolutely everything. Only downfall to our stay, was not staying longer!

The owners Catherine and Stuart were the perfect hosts! They had a great balance between privacy and sharing important information about where to go. 

Everything was perfect!

Thank you very much for having us at your place. The room was so clean and comfortable, and you were very kind that we could feel safe and relaxed. Also, your wi-fi connection was perfect that made me easy to work online with Japan for seven hours, two days running. We would stay again if we have chance to visit Bay of Islands.

Very attractive and efficient studio space with fantastic deck and views. Loved being above thetown the views, but only a five-minute walk to restaurants and the waterfront. Huge, gorgeous bathroom and comfy bed.

Highly recommend this lodge for a quiet and comfortable stay in Russell. We booked two rooms in this lovely quiet area. The studios are very spacious, clean and comfortable and contain a kitchenette. Both rooms had a private balcony and beautiful views over Russell and the bay. The lodge is just a short walk to the waterfront and restaurants. Owner Catherine was very pleasant and helpful.

Really good rooms with a small kitchen as well. Helpful staff, great location (Russell is a fantastic town). Five stars!

Thanks Catherine & Stuart. Your accommodation is wonderful. Best Ever! We have taken some tips to use in our own units.

Love Bellrock Lodge well thought out, spotless and views 'to die for'. Lovely people- and a short walk (downhill) to Russell which is a sweet little place. I could happily up sticks.

Lovely hosts, awesome views and so handy to everything.

The owners were friendly on arrival and made us feel really welcome, Bellrock accommodation is absolutely perfect with everything you need at hand for a perfect stay, as for the location the views from the balcony are stunning, Bellrock Lodge and Russell Town is a must stay if visiting New Zealand.
