Fantastic location, in the heart of Russell on the waterfront. Ideal for ferry terminal, shops and restaurants
Nothing not to like really, everything was great for a short stay.
9.0 / 10.0
Great location, loved the boutique feel of the place and loved that most rooms surround the pool.
Wish the rooms
Had air
Conditioning. And wish someone
Warned us to take the ferry and not the road to get there as the road is dirt and very long. And ferry does not take long at all.

We have been going to Commodores Lodge for many, many years, taking overseas visitors to enjoy - it is always a lovely central space to chill away from the main street of Russell. The units are well equipped and the facilities, including laundry, BBQ, and kayaks really add to the convienence of the place. We enjoy the sociable atmosphere with neighbouring units - everyone stops for a chat and it is great to hear everyone's adventures for the day.
We stayed in Unit 4 - 2nd bedroom a bit small - fine for children but not so good for adults with luggage.

Great location in the centre of town. Room was lovely and clean with plenty of space. The pool was an added bonus to unwind after a day at the beach.

Great location, central and near the jetty. Felt very secure. Nicely decorated, comfortable, spacious apartment. Receptive staff. We had a private covered outdoor area with chairs and tables. Stylish bright yellow Shade7 umbrellas. Nice central decked area with pool and spa pool. Accessible laundry.

So clean and well maintained. The kitchen is always a bonus when travelling with kids. The beds are better than 5 star hotels that I’ve stayed at so comfortable. I’m starting to find motels are becoming better than hotels. The pool was nice and clean and the staff are easy. Bill the owner is so accommodating and lovely.
Nothing it is by far the best motel I have stayed at

Great location.
Could do with cleaning the windows in the bathroom. TV would not work, and you ring the numbers for after hours help and they don't call you back contacted me the day we were leaving a bit disappointing for the cost of the stay.

Location
They mucked up our family booking and thought they confirmed we learnt (only through our own efforts) the day before they hadn’t booked in of the 5 apartments. We had to at the last minute find alternative accommodation

Everything was awesome here! Andrea helped a lot with getting us sorted and also helping with Kayaks and life jackets etc etc. Epic location right on the waterfront! The Pool and spa were an added bonus and was awesome!
Great value for money I thought. Very close to everything!

Centrally located, clean and comfortable beds
The price. Looking back at what I’ve previously paid staying in Russell the price was eye watering. I guess this is New Zealand now. Off the charts expensive
