This spacious, clean, modern accommodation was close to restaurants, cafes and ferries. We enjoyed making use of the DVD library and hot tub. The driveway is very steep if you're walking but we had a lovely view because of the raised position. The floorboards overhead are a little creaky but overall we enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful setting with welcoming hosts. Facilities were fantastic and had more than expected. Highly recommend the Bellrock Lodge! Thanks for a great stay!
Great location... would be lovely to sit outside & enjoy the view & sunshine. Walkable to the town & wharf for people not deterred by steep grade. Comfy bed.
Bellrock Lodge is a beautiful property tucked on a hill above the town of Russell. Such a picturesque view of the town & harbor. Easy access to shops & restaurants. What a delight! Terrific hosts! Highly recommend!!
Absolutely amazing vue from the balcony!
Spacious, spotless, has all necessary amenities, friendly owners and good location.
I have no problem recommending.
Plus the town of Russell is so nice….
A lovely place to stay in Russell, all the benefits of the village a few minutes walk away but with the benefit of being set back and up high so fantastic views over the village and water from the balcony. Well equipped kitchenette area, great shower and really comfortable beds. Would recommend.
Excellent place to stay - the location, the views, all the little thoughtful details of everything you need and also stuff that made one’s stay even more pleasant (mosquito spray, milk in the fridge for coffee). The hosts were so friendly and helpful too. Can’t recommend this place enough. The room was also so cozy and comfortable- and the balcony a delight! I definitely be back to stay again.
Lovely place which overlooks Russell, but is only a short walk from town. Beautiful private deck which fully opens to the room allows for a.m./p.m. views and air. Baths appear to have been recently renovated. Room is spacious and welcoming. Friendly, attentive owners. I guess you could complain about the steepness of the short entry drive or the fact that you might overhear your neighbors on the next deck … but no, don’t. HIGHLY recommend.
