For our travels in NZ, this accommodation option popped up and it was something that truly captured our imagination. The uniqueness, the location, the experience. We are so happy that we added the Waipara Wine area and this place to our itinerary! What an experience! We truly loved it - from arrival to departure. Through the very helpful arrival instructions, we found Russell's Cabin with ease. Privately located next to a winery, and within easy reach of Christchurch. It was stunningly situated high in the valley, overlooking an exceptional view and the stunning planting around the property. We loved each of the four little houses, comprising a living room, two bedrooms and a toilet/sink room. The outdoor shower and bathtub were exceptional and so liberating! Our sleep was very comfortable, and with the large cabin windows - it was like sleeping with a massive and changing oil painting at the end of the bed. The kitchen is basic and outside - but my husband loved it nonetheless and ensured a delicious dinner and breakfast. For breakfast, sumptuous bread, butter and homemade apricot jam were provided, which we supplemented by scrambled eggs and bacon that we had brought with us. It was so relaxing to enjoy these meals outside, ditto with the outdoor chairs for a pre-dinner drink or two. As the sun set, and the stars came out - the privacy combined with the nature made the whole evening so special. In all, such wonderful memories were created and we would highly recommend Russell's Cabin to all!

Located in a really peaceful setting amongst the vines - just what we needed after a month away and the hustle and bustle of travelling for that period of time. our room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed and we really appreciated the wonderful breakfast that had been left for us

Stunning views of the vineyard Very friendly staff and hosts! The sourdough bread for breakfast was absolutely delicious. Bikes provided that allow you to discover neighbouring vineyards on your bike. Very quiet and peaceful in the evening.

Excellent place to wind down after a whirlwind 14-d self drive across South Island. Waipara itself does not have the fanciness of Kimberley or coastal Kaikoura but proximity of Canterbury vineyards makes this a great place to go for walk-thru rather than drive- thru wine tasting along the Hurunui trails. The spa was magical Highly value for money

A perfect place to relax and slow down. Majestic views, lovely position walkable to a few cellar doors. Food hamper is very good. A gorgeous few days of peace and solitude.

Clean room, clean bathroom!, extra helpfull personell. It was refurbished 2 years ago. Kitchen with all you need, and even cereals, jam and butter (in addition to coffe etc). Good restaurant downstairs. This hotel is one of the better ones in this category.

Clean and well-equipped, in a peaceful area

The accommodation was absolutely fantastic. Location was great for us. I would rate our stay 10 out of 10.

Beautifully decorated, spacious and full of character.

Beautifully presented & spacious with gorgeous peaceful views. Huge bathroom with excellent disabled shower access & wonderful free standing bath that did fit two people! Everything was comfortable and worked together seamlessly, with great communication from the hosts to back it up. Thank you.
