Dec 11, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Stay The Villa was exactly as described, down to the warning about the railings on the deck & above with the mezzanine. We felt the Villa wasn’t as clean as it could’ve been especially the crockery, namely the mugs which were badly stained & had traces of drink dried in them. An overnight soak in bleach & dishwashing liquid soon fixed that. It was explained that there was only one car park with the villa but it would’ve been helpful to know that the villas were not close to on street parking as it was assumed by us that we could park nearby 😟 The views were spectacular as was the opportunity to see live weka up. Lose as they foraged in the early morning. I hope this helps, Jolie ##### Jolie S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Carolyn v. Apr 3, 2019 #### A great comfortable bach for anyone wanting to be located in Russell... A great comfortable bach for anyone wanting to be located in Russell - just a short walk down into town with awesome views from the lounge & balcony. Very neat and tidy inside - a couple appliances are a bit old, but still in good condition and work perfectly. We would have loved to stay longer if we had the time. ##### Carolyn v. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Richmond](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d10227-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmundston](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmundston-Hotels.d7806.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motels Myrtle Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Motels.d601685-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels.d3963.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edmonton-West.h3814084.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheeca Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Islamorada-Hotels-Cheeca-Lodge-Spa.h5780.Hotel-Information) > > [Pearl Farm Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Davao-Hotels-Pearl-Farm-Beach-Resort.h902083.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Homewood Suites Ajax, Ontario, Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-Ajax.h6603287.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Star Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Prairie-Hotels-Royal-Star-Motor-Inn.h18442556.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn on Ferry Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-The-Inn-On-Ferry-Street.h848357.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sedona (SDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sdx/vancouver-to-sedona) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/yxe/thunder-bay-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from New York (LGA) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lga/dtw/new-york-to-detroit) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Deer Lake (YDF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ydf/toronto-to-deer-lake) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Tucson (TUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/tus/montreal-to-tucson) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to St. Thomas (STT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/stt/hamilton-to-st-thomas) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to La Ronge (YVC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvc/toronto-to-la-ronge) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Manchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Manchester.d5128525.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Drumheller](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Drumheller.d55296.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Kissimmee](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Kissimmee.d7927.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Playa Dorada](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Dorada-Playa-Dorada.d6072767.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Northern Lights Golf Complex](https://www.expedia.ca/Northern-Lights-Golf-Complex-Thunder-Bay.d553248621558144219.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Europe Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Europe.d6022967.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Newfoundland and Labrador](https://www.expedia.ca/Newfoundland-And-Labrador.dx11167)
