This place was comfortable well organised and well equipped. An absolutely lovely location. Great hosts and we were self contained. We kayaked around and particularly appreciated the underground parking for secure storage when not in the water.

This is an amazing place to stay. The rooms are extremely clean and our bed was so comfortable. From the moment we got there we felt looked after and the owners were so accommodating. The location was everything we hoped for and more, you really don't need a car as everything you need is right outside the door. Cannot wait for our next holiday there.

We require a wheelchair accessible room which was provided.

There were no adequate ramps for either entrance which meant that assistance was required to enter and exit the room. Also, the shower chair provided was not really suitable.

The location was good and it was particularly nice to be able to sit outside the room in the provided chairs and table.

The picture on the Television can only be described as shocking. In this day of high speed internet and smart televisions, this is not really acceptable.

Thanks for your stay Alan, we will look at our ramp situation. We are also in the process of updating our TVs to smart TVs, with over half our motel done, but unfortunately we have left our cheapest rooms til last, one of which is yours. We expected to have more done by now but Covid has certainly made us review our expenditure significantly.

We enjoyed our four night stay immensely. Russell is a beautiful location and well placed for all local trips. Only a short ferry ride to Paihia. The Hananui Apartments are directly on the beachfront, spotlessly clean and have amazingly helpful staff and very knowledgeable. Our sea view apartment had all modern fixtures and fittings and a wonderful balcony. We would highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of staying in the Bay of Islands.

Others have rightly praised the location, the view, the spaciousness, the really comfy bed and much more. The unit is particularly well equipped for some self catering, and the bathroom well supplied. The communications prior to our arrival were helpful and friendly and all flexibility shown, especially when it looked as if Covid Lockdowns might have caused a problem.
As I say, why go anywhere else - we were really happy to have stayed there.

Hananui Lodge is in a beautiful setting right on the quaint quiet waterfront of Russell, also perfectly positioned right in the heart of things beside the museum, shops, supermarket, restaurants, tour departures. Shane our host was excellent very welcoming, knowledgeable, has great suggestions about walks in the area & local knowledge. We traveled as a family the rooms are very well appointed to cater in to enjoy the gorgeous sea or park views or a minutes walk to the restaurants. The park beside the property and beach was excellent for our 8 year old to play and great for star gazing at night. The weekend markets in the town hall next door are also well worth visiting. We absolutely loved our stay at Hananui Lodge we gave the lodge, our hosts, the township of Russell a 10/10 &&& we’ll be back!!! It’s a home away from home, but better!!!

We have been staying at Hananui Lodge for over 10 years now and find it to be the best accommodation in Russell. The Units right on the waterfront are fantastic for the views out to the pier and all the boats. The rooms are always clean and the managers very helpful. On top of all this, you can arrange to go fishing on the "Hananui" with John Clifford, a local who knows his fish.

Everything is top: location, rooms, management. If you can get a waterfront room, I know very few places in the Pacific which can beat Hananui's quality. The live-in managers are delightful people, always ready to help and never intrusive. Only drawback: it is so good there are lots of return guests, so you must book a long time in advance

Water front location in a wonderful, historic part of NZ. Not to be missed. Warm, friendly hosts. The unit was very clean, bed comfortable, everything we needed, including the sound of water lapping on the beach.
