"We loved every minute of our stay in Russell. Our accommodation and hosts were fantastic. Enjoyed our pre dinner wine tasting and chats with the friendly hosts and other guests. Breakfast served al fresco was delicious every time. Highly recommend as a peaceful break in a busy travelling schedule. An extra touch, that we really appreciated ,was that as we arrived late our hosts already booked a perfect spot for our dinner. Big thank you! Hope to be able to return. David and Jarmila "

"A beautiful location with a homely feel. Well equipped unit for four, great linen, lovely balcony. We paid more to have a sea facing room but considering how expensive the room was per night (and a lot more than last time we stayed) it’s disappointing that one room at least did not have an en-suite. Towels not changed daily (due to “saving water”), extra cleaning charge of $30 pp for the “two extra guests” even though we booked for four people - surely the room rate should be for four people...

"Great location, lovely host. We had a problem with water - it appears there was a fix needed with the tank so seems like a one-off. We had breakfast included with our meal but it was too basic and could be better."

"We stayed for a couple of nights at Russell Motel. The accommodation was small but very cutely furnished with comfy beds and everything else that we needed. The hosts were so friendly and kind. Didnt feel like i met them for the first time. There is a small pool that is realh cute and the girls had a dip, although it was a cold day. The location is very close to everything you need. Would love to go there again considering that my fur baby was also welcome and they kindly offered to sit her...
