Bay of Islands Gateway Motel & Apartments, hotel in Russell

Offering quality accommodation, this 4.5-star property is nestled between Paihia and Waitangi on Te Ti Bay.

Exceptionally clean and well maintained studio. The King size bed was very comfortable and we had everything needed for an enjoyable three night stay. Our host, Julie, was friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. She gave us many good recommendations and provides a laundry service, which was much appreciated on our extended trip. Pahia is a beautiful spot to spend a few days. Highly recommended.

Bounty Motel, hotel in Russell

Just 100 metres from Paihia Beach, this motel offers self-contained accommodation with access to a shared patio, a garden with outdoor seating and free unlimited WiFi.

Everything was perfect. Bob and Lynn, owners of the motel, were excellent in accommodating all our needs. Lynn helped us with our heavy luggage, and Bob allowed us to check out two hours later than the predetermined 10am, as we were leaving Paihia later in the day. Bob also gave us some very good recommendations about where to have dinner at Russell. Dear Bob and Lynn, Thank you very much for the excellent service. We highly recommend this motel for anyone visiting the magical Bay of Islands.

Looking for a motel?

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.
