Seaport Village

Remuera House was perfect for the 6 of us. Everything we needed and a great location.

We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. Location is right in town, perfect for walking everywhere. The rooms are a great size and equipped with everything we needed. Was such a bonus to be able to take our dog with us.

Everything was fantastic.

The location was excellent, the place was very claen and excellently equipped. The rooms were huge.

Nothing

Excellent location. Very spacious room

Unable to turn off light from bedside

Bit near to noisy pub on that side of the Village, mainly Thurs and Fri evenings.

Everything

Some butter and jam sachets for toast

room 3 had a table outside the front in the sun amd also a table at the back under cover. I love hoe close it is to the shops, cafes and restaurants. Owner Deb is lovely. I also had to use laundry facilities and appreciated the 15 min wash. Very clean comfortable apartments with a cafe right across the road.

Nothing. It's the second time weve stayed this year and have liked both rooms. There is a pub with live music on next door, but it finishes early and with closed doors it was no problem.

Handy spot

Lack of contact with owners or managers

Superfräscht! Mysigt rum med nödvändiga köksprylar. Nära till centrum och trevlig pub intill.

Great location, great laundry, lovely staff. Very comfortable bed, immaculate linen. Spacious accommodation for four of us. Nice to have access to BBQ. Fancy new microwave/ air fryer oven.

Very limited equipment in kitchen, small number of salt and pepper sachets, and only one baking tray. Most people possibly not cooking much but we were there for a week which included Easter Sunday. So we had to buy all the extras like oil, kitchen roll, salt, pepper etc. Living room seating furniture a bit tatty.

Friendly and welcoming host - two very cute Border Terriers were an added bonus. Fantastic location across the road from a great coffee shop, and easy one minute walk to ferry wharf on the strand. The whole of Russell is such a quaint, well-preserved village, and the Seaport Village beautifully maintains the look and feel of a bygone era. Our cabin even had a lovely private deck which allowed plenty of cross-ventilation. Plenty of parking. Brilliant stargazing from Flagstaff Hill - recommend you drive up for a visit after dark.

Beds were a bit soft for my liking, but still had a good night’s sleep (even managed to sleep through the torrential rain brought by Cyclone Vaianu). Russell does not do good street lighting, and the Seaport Village, like most Russell businesses, does not have any lighting on their business sign, so if you arrive after dark, you might have trouble finding the entrance to the car park. The pub next door was a bit noisy on the Friday night, but they finished by midnight.

The location was brilliant and all we could want in the accommodation. Thank you

Proximity to The Strand with beautiful sunsets and restaurants was great. Spacious and sunny appartment, nice little veranda.

The one bedroom with roof windows was rather dark.

Great location loved our stay

Location close to everything, comfortable bed and spacious.

Emplacement idéal à Russell Propre et fonctionnel

Pas vraiment de réception

Location to everything in town was great - walking distance. Quiet neighbourhood.

All good.

Great location

Great location. Nice sized apartment.

Unfortunately it was not very clean. It has a lovely wooden floor but it was not very clean. Under the beds, in the wardrobes and under the rugs was thick dust. Also minimal equipment in kitchen, it was fine for us but a few additions like cooking oil, foil, wooden spatula and maybe a wok would be good.

Our apartment was comfortable and private. We found a pleasant living space, a very good bathroom and a comfortable bed. It was in easy walking distance to the centre of Russell and the waterfront.

Nothing to mention.

Centrally located and quality fittings

Nothing

Very spacious and comfortable. Very central Location.

Cleaner was very good and friendly. However we had a problem with the lock in the door sticking. We left a message for the manager whose voicemail said they didn’t listen to messages. We told the cleaner. We rigged up a system ourselves with tape to ensure we could get in, but the manager never came back to us and the handle was not fixed during our 6 night stay. This is poor customer service.

Great location Value for money

Perfect location. Great space in the apartment. Laundry facility. Parking. Friendly and very helpful staff.

The skylights in the bedroom are a potential issue as light comes in pretty early. The bathroom is huge but the shower is quite small as is the vanity.

The studio was so spacious! The lounge had a twin couch, two chairs and a little coffee table, as well as a small dinner table with two chairs. The bed was huge and comfortable and so were the pillows. The bathroom was decent and the shower spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped with a cooktop, stove, microwave and full fridge. My fave thing was the little table and chairs in front of the studio which we used morning and night. The space was open, clean and the linen was good. AND the accommodation was literally a minutes walk from the waterfront shops and restaurants . Just loved it!

Brilliant location and spacious room with everything we needed.

Nice room and central location. Comfortable beds and good facilities.

Nothing

Great sized room, excellent location, lovely large powerful shower, free parking on site and free laundry facilities

Nothing

Very central location. Very clean and comfortable.

Great location, very close to all amenities. Room adequate. Water pressure great for shower. Unit in quieter part of facility and had its own parking outside

Nothing can think of

Close to everything. Able to do multiple loads of washing and drying during our stay. Great coffee place just across the road.

Footsteps of people staying above us, but this was only until they went to sleep.

So close to everything and very Quiet at night.

Loved the location, the room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed.

Central location in the center of the historical town and easy access to the promenade, ferries and restaurants. The appartment is spacious, bright and has a great balcony. Plenty of parking space on the property.

No personal contact on arrival. When checking-in we found that the appartment had not been properly cleaned; similarly the idle reception. An extra round of cleaning, however, transformed it into a truly pleasant place.

Great location. Practical. Good laundry.

The staff

Having to put the kettle on top of the microwave or on the narrow part of the bench in order to reach the plug was not very safe and definitely not convenient. The bench needs a plug at the other side. Having a hairdryer available was great but with no plug in the bathroom to plug the dryer into wasn’t great.

Great room with a private car park which while close to the beach was just off the main thoroughfare that we didnt get any foot traffic or noise.

The unit was lovely offering everything one needs. Location is superb, walking distance from everything

Immaculate in a great space . Everything we needed. Beautiful ambiance. Lovely customer service .

That we didn’t stay longer

Closeness to centre

Very comfortable, pet friendly and close to shops and beach.

Excellent laundry facilities plus super friendly staff

The location was fantastic.

The wifi was not good in the room. Had to sit outside to access the wifi.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Good room size.

Location and service

Kitchen is good but could do more cooking tools

Proximity to centre. Easy scroll to shops, waterfront, ferry, restaurants.

Noisy bar with band playing, but in saying that the music wasn't bad and it only went for a couple of hours each evening and not late.

Trevligt mottagande! Läge och rummet var utmärkt!

O

The location , walking distance to everything . So clean and tidy . Staff are so nice and amazing .

Free laundry. Huge room. Easy ground floor access. Location super one block back from beach.

Noisy next door bar .

A very spacious room within easy walking distance of the sea front. Very quiet and Russell is what it must be like when you die and go to heaven.

Great location, walking distance to everything!

A little outdated!

Position in Russell excellent. Size of room generous. Carpark outside unit. Fully self-contained with daily service offered.

Convenient location.

Noisey- Suite E is not sound proof to the point that you could hear the people upstairs using the toilet. The drainage passes right through the Suite which sounds like an external gutter inside. Didn’t sleep the nights that the Suite was used upstairs. It was hard to contact the ‘manager’ as no-one was in reception at all until our last morning. I hope that the new owners can turn this around as I love Russell and would love to go back again.

The staff were friendly, location central and the room was enormous

Maybe a little dated on decor but that made it homly

Fantastic place, right in the heart of town, opposite the RSA and just around the corner from the Nauti Penguin pub. Room was beautiful with wooden floors and pretty furniture. 2 big king beds, great shower, heat pump, overall very very comfy. Friendly greeting when we got there and parking right outside. We had Deluxe unit C and I think E and D are the same.

This is the only thing, the WiFi was terrible. It wouldn't stay connected and I couldn't do much on my computer as it was very slow. But that's all, as who wants to work when you're away. 😃

Quality fittings

No pool or sunbathing area

Was in a great location. Room was a good size

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and very convenient to local amenities. The town itself is stunning with good walks, ferries and restaurants. The proprietor was the kindest man we've met! Highly recommended.

Todate, the best accommodation we have had in N.Z. The location was terrific, we did not need to use the car during our 2 night stay. Russell was a great place to stay in the Bay of Islands. In hindsight we should of spent our 5 nights at the Bay in Russell and used the ferry to get to Paihia and Waitangi. Our host, Hayden, was very gracious and hospitable. Our unit, #1, felt like our own home. With plenty of room and polished timber floors, even in the bathroom. Russell has so much history to offer and Seaport Village a great and economic place to stay.

Having to leave... The establishment is for sale, hopefully it will retain its character. Would love to be able to afford the purchase price....and emigrate to Northland N.Z.

The location is the only thing going for this place.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sleep inside a haunted vacuum cleaner bag, boy, do I have the destination for you! From the moment we arrived at Seaport Village, the ambience hit us—and by ambience, I mean the potent aroma of mildew, despair, and possibly expired hopes. The curtains were the stuff of horror movie set design: moldy, heavy, and clinging to the window like they were trying to escape too. The musty stench could only be described as “Victorian attic meets forgotten basement.” The decor was retro, in the sense that it looked like someone retroactively gave up in 1983. Furniture so old and saggy, even the scatter cushions had given up all hope—they were flatter than my enthusiasm. The carpets? Well, calling them carpets is generous. They were more like fuzzy dirt delivery systems, expertly seasoned with the tears of previous guests. Now let’s talk hospitality. Our complimentary coffee cups came with bonus brown stains on the inside. I like my coffee strong, but not pre-seasoned with biohazards. The fridge had milk that expired during the previous administration and was leaking enough to open a water park for ants. The host’s solution? Slap a towel on it like it was a DIY plumbing YouTube tutorial. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Ever. Oh, and the dishwasher leaks too, possibly in solidarity with the fridge. I’d call it a feature—“self-watering floorboards”—but I’m not that generous. The whole place had a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, which added a festive “abandoned witch’s cottage” vibe. I half-expected a raccoon in a smoking jacket to welcome us with, “You’re late.” In conclusion, if you’re into biohazards, antiquated upholstery, and the thrill of possibly catching something airborne, Seaport Village is the perfect getaway. Otherwise, maybe pitch a tent in a landfill—it’ll smell better, and at least you’ll know what you’re in for.

Beautiful kind host thank you

Great location close to village with very friendly/helpful staff

next door noise on last night.

Centrally located, comfortable accommodation.

location

The room was very spacious and well-equipped. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location could not have been more convenient. Russell is a lovely, tranquil place to spend a few days. I'd go again in a heartbeat.
