Hotel a Russell Forest

“Room spotless and had everything available Dish washer washing machine dryer full size fridge few metres walk to beach One of best we've stayed for a while”

“Julie and Martin were great hosts. Super accomodation, very comfortable rooms. ”

“Yes the room was spotless and very well equipped”

“The room is clean and the staff were great, very friendly. But please do put some reminders when to close the kitchen for us to be aware. ”

“The staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a cabin with its own amenities, but we did scope out the shared kitchen and it was spacious and clean. It is pet friendly, there were other people in campers and RVs who had dogs with them. The owners also had a friendly little fur baby who was one of the highlights of our interactions with them. I recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again.”

“This is such a lovely retreat, all credit to manager Kelly and her family. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and it was much appreciated. The refurbished rooms were nice, clean and warm and the private shower was awesome. We had an awesome time and were lucky to see two kiwi on the grass near the bush even though it was raining, and we heard lots more. It was really magical!”

“Excellent accommodation and wonderful hosts We had the pleasure of spending three days and three nights at Arcadia Lodge in Russell and truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The lodge is exceptionally well maintained, spotless, and clearly run with great attention to detail. We would especially like to thank the fantastic hosts, Greg and Peter. They were always approachable, provided us with many great tips for activities in and around Russell, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout...

“Merci et bravo pour votre établissement parfait. Situation, vue, equipement, propreté, accueil très bienveillant. C'était très difficile de partir. Vous ne méritez pas 5 étoiles mais bien plus ! ”

“We had our own little cabin (Unit #8). Open floor plan for kitchen, dining, bed. Seating on a nice little deck. Shower looks tired, but hot water showed up quickly and I had a good shower. Our only issue was that there were ants in the kitchen. The owner/manager said he would take care of it when we went out for dinner, and when we came back, no more ant issue.”

“Was very good ”

“The view was beautiful ”

“Super friendly staff and the room was amazing with a beautiful view. We really enjoyed the pool as well. Thank you 😊 We will definitely stay with you again. ”

“Great location and place to stay ”

“The cottage is cuter and nicer than the photos . Although the drive a bit longer to Kerikeri it's a spectacular drive . Thankyou for a lovely stay ”

“Excellent. Very convenient. Room was spacious and well-equipped. Staff was very nice. We actually couldn't make it for the first night because of a change in plans so we tried to contact the hotel but couldn't get through. When we arrived the next day, we did not get any funny looks or stares. We just got the same nice, courteous service we would expect. Plus, the location cannot be beat. Right on the beach. You can literally see the ocean from here! And feel that nice sea breeze wafting through...

“They called with my late arrival when I rang them to say I'd be there after hours. I used the hot plate and pot provided. It's not brand new or luxurious but is comfortable and spacious and I'll stay there again ”

“Was lovely place great room lovely staff and great parking ”

“Room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming.”

“Tutto perfetto. Stanza spaziosa, pulito, bagno grande, letto comodo, angolo cucina con tutto quello che serve e un balcone con vista mare. Posto bellissimo, vicino a tutto. Consigliato anche per soggiorni lunghi.”

“Had a great time here. Stayed for 7 nights. Had no issues, close to the beach not a far walk from the wharf. Staff were lovely and the pool and spa pool were nice to relax in. Cheaper than most of the other motels so you dont feel ripped off. Will come back again. ”
