Jessie and Ruth, the owners, made us feel very welcome. The Lodge is in the centre of historic Russell, on the north island of New Zealand. With only 4 bedrooms - all individual, well appointed and extremely comfortable, the Lodge is both intimate and luxurious. I had one of the best massages I've had in a long time, in the... More

Our stay at Flagstaff was wonderful. We would highly recommend the Flagstaff Lodge & Day Spa. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the hosts were attentive but not intrusive and the breakfast was great. The outdoor bath's were fun and we cant wait to get back.

Everything about our stay at Flagstaff was perfect. We've travelled extensively and would highly recommend the Flagstaff Lodge & Day Spa. The rooms were very clean, the service was attentive but not intrusive and the breakfast was delicious. The outdoor bath's were an added bonus.

We first visited Flagstaff Lodge in 2011 and it was one of the highlights of our trip. As part of our much longer 2013 visit to NZ, we always knew we would return. The property is absolutely beautiful, with wonderfully spacious and well equipped room. However, the main reason this hotel is so special is the hosts, Jessie and Ruth.... More

They were only too happy to recommend and book dinner for us, and to help us with daytime activities. Our room was spacious and very well appointed and the breakfast was... More

No stone was left unturned! The accommodation was second to none and in such a beautiful setting with lovely views over the bustling Russell inlet. We started with some fabulous pampering at the day spa next to our accommodation.
