Well appointed room and lovely welcome from owners on arrival. Really good views of Russell township and the water / boats. Only thing I would say, bring some strong legs if you plan on walking - the driveway is STEEP hahaaaa. Had a very pleasant stay (5 nights).

B&B style accommodation with lovely views over Russell and Kororareka Bay. The rooms are comfortable and exceptionally clean, with a small kitchen and fridge. Welcoming owners who provided a good list of things to do, places to eat and visit during our stay. The complex has a BBQ and spa area and washing facilities (at additional cost). The balcony is great to sit for a morning coffee or an afternoon wine to take in the views. The place is located within an quick walk to Russell central, Foreshore and Long Beach. The driveway is very steep drive and walk up, and parking not suitable for larger vehicles. Overall a great option stay for couples visiting Russell.

Bellrock Lodge is a great base for a visit to Russell and the Bay of Islands. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a balcony and a great view over the town and bay. It's a B&B, so no amenities on the property other than a paid use laundry room. It's only a 10-minute walk into town, but there's a short steep uphill section on the way back which might be difficult for older or mobility-challenged guests.

This spacious, clean, modern accommodation was close to restaurants, cafes and ferries. We enjoyed making use of the DVD library and hot tub. The driveway is very steep if you're walking but we had a lovely view because of the raised position. The floorboards overhead are a little creaky but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place which overlooks Russell, but is only a short walk from town. Beautiful private deck which fully opens to the room allows for a.m./p.m. views and air. Baths appear to have been recently renovated. Room is spacious and welcoming. Friendly, attentive owners. I guess you could complain about the steepness of the short entry drive or the fact that you might overhear your neighbors on the next deck … but no, don’t. HIGHLY recommend.

We would love to give this place extra stars because the hosts went above and beyond any expectations. Lorraine and Peter and their family are real treasures and great ambassadors for the area. Plus the room was beautiful and cozy and super clean with lovely furnishings and wood floors. The bathroom and shower were fantastic. The kitchen was a great way tohave breakfast every day, and everything in town is a close walk. The only challenge is that the walk up to driveway is a little steep.

Wonderful accommodation near the beach

We booked last minute because the previous place was moldy. Peter, our host went out of his way to accommodate my allergies. The parking is on a steep hill like every where in NZ, so he told us that if we wanted to walk down to the stores and restaurants, just call him and he will come and pick us up when we are finished. The room has everything anyone could want, full kitchen, beach towels, even a flashlight if it’s dark when you are out walking. The view from the balcony overlooks Russel bay, you could stay there forever. A laundry room is also available for travelers who are on a long vacation and need to launder their clothes. When you leave, you feel that you have had the best experience ever.

An excellent hotel - happy to recommend it

We were greeted with a warm welcome, a glass of wine and given a few tips about where to go. The rooms are large and have a brilliant view - even the balcony is large enough to have breakfast on. The rooms also have a full kitchenette, with coffee, tea, biscuits and milk provided. There is safe parking and it's only a 5 minute stroll down the hill into the village. We would stay here again in a flash.

This is the place you are looking for

A great stay at a wonderful place. Peter and Lorraine were fantastic hosts, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, and we would not hesitate in returning. The room was large enough, comfortable and clean, and came with many personal touches. There was a lovely veranda on which to sit and watch the sunset over the town and the water.

Perfection in Russell, Bay of Islands

Our hosts at Bellrock Lodge, Lorraine and Peter, were absolutely wonderful. We were made to feel very welcome and very comfortable in their beautiful home. We definitely will be returning again on our next visit to New Zealand. I choose this place purely on other people's comments and it deserves all the accolades about how wonderful it is.

The little things

This hotel is stunning but it's the little things that make a difference like homemade jams with the continental breakfast or the hosts taking the time to have drinks and nibbles with the guests or the night light in the bathroom so you don't have to turn on the bright light if you need to go in the night. It's these little things that make a stay memorable. Will absolutely be back.
