Everything we needed was right next door. A couple of steps here and there. Groceries, Restaurants, Pubs and a museum across the road. We stayed in apartment 12 for a week as we were up here for work. It was nice to come back to the apartment after a long days work and park our work van under the garage and head up to our apartment and relax. We brought groceries up but if we needed something quick to eat we just walked down to the 4 square and picked up something. It had everything. Awesome lil bakery as well. The apartment was clean and a good place to relax. Nice and quiet but we were here in the off season where there was not much tourists. The rooms all had sky TV which was a bonus to watch our games but we would pop into the Pub Nauti Penguin for a meal and a beer and to watch the All Blacks. Good atmosphere down there. Beds were comfortable. Awesome staff, easy communication, easy check in as we checked in late. Overall experience, excellent

Nothing, Everything was awesome

Really friendly staff who went the extra mile to help us as we had our 1-year old with us. They checked us in early even though they were very busy. They provided a portacot with all the bedding for our little one. The apartments are right near the water. We couldn't quite see the sea from our room (which we knew to expect) but we looked out on the lovely village green. The water was about 10 seconds away. The apartments are right in the heart of town. Close to restaurants and cafes but still peaceful. I was blown away by how lovely it was.

The only nitpicky thing I can say is that an aircon would have been great as it was really hot. But they provided a fan which helped a lot.

Comfortable spacious modern apartment in the centre of Russell. Beds and bedding are excellent. Our apartment (across the road from the beachside apartments) had a balcony overlooking the main street into Russell - but very quiet. Everywhere in Russell is within short walking distance (beach, town centre, walking trails). Some excellent wineries nearby. Would strongly recommend a day cruise with Phantom Sailing - wonderful experience. Excellent car parking within the apartment building. Nev (the owner/manager) was very welcoming and helpful.

Would have liked a sea view - but none of these aprtments were available. We should have stayed longer!

Location was great, just across the road from beach,Resturants,shops. The room was just as it was shown on the website, which was an excellent bonus,having been caught out badly by this before when I have booked with Booking.com. All facilities were spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfortable as was the casual seating.

Just a little less wind during the day 💨but guess it was that time of year.

We had an apartment with a view over the bay which was lovely. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the view and passers by. Although it is slightly dated it is immaculately maintained and very clean. Kitchen facilities were very good. The location was super close to everything in Russel and the marina which was very convenient.

Beds weren’t quite as lux as some of our other accommodation in NZ but they were still comfy.

Well situated, outstanding view of the bay, sunny and friendly. Not lavish a 1960’s simple unit but ideal for a couple as was equipped with kitchenette and comfortable spaces to relax. Good ‘springboard’ to enjoy the activities in the region and Russell as situated a ‘stones throw’ from the township. Parking also a breeze.

Ideal at this time of year as not too busy. I imagine peak time foot traffic outside the unit may be intrusive.

The location was perfect. Central to everywhere. The bathrooms were great and the bedrooms were roomy and even came with heat pumps in each room. It was the perfect place to stay.

My only complaint is that the bed was a bit hard for me. But for others it would be great. Just that I have a super soft bed at home. However my husband loved the bed. And there was no dishwasher. And I am lazy at doing the dishes lol. But other than that, everything was perfect.

The Hananui Apartments was fantastic accommodation for our 3 night stay. Literally walking distance to everywhere. We were able to check in super early which was amazing as we had been traveling all night. The apartment was huge! Has all the amenities and was super clean. Great water pressure in the shower too!! Would love to come back to Russell and stay again, thank you x

Nothing, everything was perfect

At the Hananui Hotel, guests are treated to outstanding hospitality from the friendly and helpful staff. The hotel's facilities uphold impressive standards of prestige. With its waterfront location just 20 metres away, and restaurants and upscale shopping nearby, the hotel provides unparalleled value.

We will be back because of the amazing hospitality and prestige facilities.

The location was perfect the rooms we booked had a beautiful Seaview which was just amazing The apartments were modern and clean, the hosts were super lovely and accommodating provided kayaks and paddle boards the the kids which they loved

One minor comment with our group was that there use to be a spa pool but since been converted into another bedroom
