Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jolie S. 11 Dec 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Stay The Villa was exactly as described, down to the warning about the railings on the deck & above with the mezzanine. We felt the Villa wasn’t as clean as it could’ve been especially the crockery, namely the mugs which were badly stained & had traces of drink dried in them. An overnight soak in bleach & dishwashing liquid soon fixed that. It was explained that there was only one car park with the villa but it would’ve been helpful to know that the villas were not close to on street parking as it was assumed by us that we could park nearby 😟 The views were spectacular as was the opportunity to see live weka up. Lose as they foraged in the early morning. I hope this helps, Jolie ##### Jolie S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Carolyn v. 3 Apr 2019 #### A great comfortable bach for anyone wanting to be located in Russell... A great comfortable bach for anyone wanting to be located in Russell - just a short walk down into town with awesome views from the lounge & balcony. Very neat and tidy inside - a couple appliances are a bit old, but still in good condition and work perfectly. We would have loved to stay longer if we had the time. ##### Carolyn v. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Valamar Lacroma Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Valamar-Lacroma-Dubrovnik-Hotel.h2466878.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Bay-Horse-Inn.h17334089.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Capsule-Hotels.d6069845-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6195474-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Meridien New Delhi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delhi-Hotels-Le-Meridien-New-Delhi.h531648.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Sutton-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sutton-On-Sea-Caravan-Parks.d6347592-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel AR Roca Esmeralda & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calpe-Hotels-Hotel-AR-Roca-Esmeralda-Spa.h108848.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Rockefeller-Hotel.h71673357.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana an All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Casino-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h2464251.Hotel-Information) > > [Danubius Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Danubius-Hotel-Regents-Park.h26085.Hotel-Information) > > [Granby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Granby.h42070368.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Bank Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Old-Bank-Rooms.h60035126.Hotel-Information) > > [Albert View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salford-Hotels-Albert-View.h31480320.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Porto (OPO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/opo/leeds-to-porto) ### Activities > [Things to do in Seattle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Seattle.d178307.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Seychelles Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seychelles.d159.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [New Zealand Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Zealand.d133.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Brighton Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Beach-Seafront.d6081139.Attraction) > > [York Dungeon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Dungeon-City-Centre.d6079271.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Kenya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenya.dx92) > > [Visit L'Ametlla de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/LAmetlla-De-Mar.dx6048141)
