Located beach front and boasting a pool, children's pool and spa pool, Commodores Lodge is situated in central Russell, just a short walk from restaurants, bars and the wharf.

Each room has a flat-screen TV. Some units include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. You will find a kettle in the room. Every room is fitted with a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Free WiFi is available.

The location immediately adjacent the beach, Strand and wharf is unbeatable. Our room was spacious with a well equipped small kitchen and comfortable spaces to relax. We availed ourselves of the bikes to visit Oneroa Beach over the hill, and the sea kayaks to nose around the moored boats in the bay, for some active relaxation.

Other facilities offered at Ala Moana Motel include barbecues, a ticket service, a tour desk and luggage storage. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including golfing. The property offers free parking.

This accommodation exceeded our expectations! Originally, we were booked at an upmarket apartment that was 4x the price, decided to go for this place instead due to central location and value for money. We compared this place to our original booking and were not disappointed with our decision. The owner/manager of this property cannot do enough to ensure a great stay, working hard all day to maintain high standard, and advise on best options for tours etc. Great facilities like complimentary laundry, and 5min walk to central area & ferry wharf. Many Thanks for a great holiday! Thanks for the perfect weather too !!

Bayview is absolutely amazing! Friendly and kind. Me and my friend had lost our car keys, which ended up in kaikohe. They offered to take us to get our keys, which would've cost us a huge amount! They also gave us amazing room with a fantastic view. Thank you, Bayview, we will definitely be back x

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The location of the hotel was excellent - right next to the beach. And close to all nearby establishments for food and drink. We ate evening dinner and breakfast and both were great and reasonably priced - and in line with other places. Free parking!!

    Motel room is in a good location - close to waterfront but overlooking carpark. Easy access from car to room (ground floor). Very clean. Comfortable bed with electric blanket. Room had been pre-heated for us which was a nice touch.

    Staf were excellent, and let us check in at 2.15pm. The Duke's 3pm check-in is late compared to some motels we have stayed in, so this was appreciated.

    Perfect location, quiet but overlooking the front with great views over the bay. Also close to shops and restaurants. A lovely welcome from Kirstine, who then helped us charge our ev overnight. An older style motel but very clean, fresh and kept stylishly up to date. Will stay there again and be recommending to friends.
