Very attractive and efficient studio space with fantastic deck and views. Loved being above the town for the views, but only a five-minute walk to restaurants and the waterfront. Huge, gorgeous bathroom and comfy bed.

Highly recommend this lodge for a quiet and comfortable stay in Russell. We booked two rooms in this lovely quiet area. The studios are very spacious, clean and comfortable and contain a kitchenette. Both rooms had a private balcony and beautiful views over Russell and the bay. The lodge is just a short walk to the waterfront and restaurants. Owner Catherine was very pleasant and helpful.

Love Bellrock Lodge well thought out, spotless and views 'to die for'. Lovely people- and a short walk (downhill) to Russell which is a sweet little place. I could happily up sticks.

Fantastic stay! The room is Comfortable in every way. The bed was among the best we've had in 115 days of travel. The view is such a treat. And the town of Russell is exceptional. We were sorry to only have one night. Would have preferred to stay longer rather than be passing through.

A lovely view from a beautiful room. Clean and beautifully decorated. A quiet one night romantic stay for us but we really enjoyed the clean bathroom and comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities including the surprise chocolate fish :) thank you to the owners of the Bellrock. We'd love to stay again when we are next in Russell.

Great Wi-Fi

Thank you very much for having us at your place. The room was so clean and comfortable, and you were very kind that we could feel safe and relaxed. Also, your wi-fi connection was perfect that made me easy to work online with Japan for seven hours, two days
running. We would stay again if we have chance to visit Bay of Islands"
