I arrived tired after a flight from the UK and self drive from Auckland to a warm welcome in the spotless, and very comfortable, Lodge. It is a great place to relax and rest. Jessie and Ruth are extremely helpful and friendly hosts. The lodge itself is centrally located within easy walking distance of the best restaurants and other amenities.... More

I can't think of anything Jessie & Ruth could have done to make our stay more perfect. The property was spotless, the rooms were huge, double bathrooms with the towels so huge & fluffy I tracked down the local supplier and bought some for home! As for all the food treats! Wonderful canapes,afternoon tea, and they even the jams, cereals... More

I am glad I stayed in Russell, rather than Pahia. Great place, good food, great company , I'm glad I came. They were even kind enough to go get me a pizza when I wanted to stay in. More

A classy, chic and stylish lodge where no attention to detail is forgotten. Jesse and Ruth are fabulous hosts. Homemade nibbles and delicious local wines at six o'clock. Mouth watering breakfasts. Only four double rooms, so exclusivity is the name of the game. Definitely the best place to stay in Russell. Cannot recommend it highly enough. More

I cannot really disconnect my Russel stay from Ruth and Jessie's lodge...the combination made it my favourite place in Northern Island. It is an enhanced version of feeling at home in a fantastic place. I will definitely return there! More
