Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Stella the Excella is set in Russell. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The campground has a hot tub and bicycle parking.

Stella the Excella is a fabulous base in Russell. We loved the quirkiness of the trailer and all the retro facilities and colours - you really feel you're back in the 50s. The bed was very comfortable and the separate bathroom was more than adequate. The outside decking was spacious and a great place to sit back and relax and if you're lucky (as we were) spot kiwi in the garden below. The centre of Russell is about a 15/20 minute walk away though we were lazy and took the car as the trailer is situated at the top of a steep hill. We spent five weeks in NZ and Stella was definitely in the Top 3 of the places we stayed.

    The cottage we stayed in was perfect for our group of four adults and would suit a family as well. We loved the sunset the view each evening. Having plenty of trees(with the accompanying bird song) was a bonus. Being a 5 minute walk from the village and wharf meant we did t use our vehicle often and we were close to lovely beaches.

    We loved our 5-night stay at Te Minaaki Villa. It was ideally located for us to explore the BOI area, enjoy walks to Long Beach and Russell town centre as well as soak up the beautiful views over the bay from our deck. The comfortable sized studio Villa offered all we needed for self catering including a useful BBQ. Thanks again Donna for for all your recommendations and top hospitality.

    We are so glad we chose to stay in Russell rather than Paiha and chose Seaport Village. Seaport Village is very comfortable and very central with good facilities. We had a car but it is only a stone's throw from the jetty so we hardly used the car whilst there. So easy for the boat. Russel is lovely, very small but with a very interesting history. We wish we had stayed longer so we could explore the old town more.

    Everything about Fantail Mill - the view of the bay; easy access to walking tracks; short drive to Russell Village and Long Beach; beautiful, peaceful surroundings - contributed to a much needed, replenishing break. The studio is well-equipped for a long stay with the added bonus of the outdoor kitchen if needed. Tracy and William are thoughtful, generous hosts, which made my experience particularly enjoyable!
