A great stay!
A great, quirky stay in a beautiful part of New Zealand. Very comfortable bed and has all the facilities you would expect in a regular room.
Outside bathroom is not ideal when it’s cold and/or raining.

beautiful and relaxing
Quirky little spot. Much better than staying in a regular hotel in the area. Loved the hottub. the decor suits the vibe and loved the little seperate bathroom.
long steep driveway but other than that cant complain

This truly is the excellent place to stay :)
The location and setup are exceptional. All the little details were there nothing to add, really.
Well,... Not. a. thing. :p

Stellar!!
Such a cosy place tucked away in Russell. It's not "water views" but you'll likely be spending all day on the water or by the beach anyway. The best thing is no neighbors, no other rooms or guests, just you relaxing in your own private oasis.
Stella herself is much more roomy inside than you expect, with plenty of storage space. The retro look is quirky and it feels like a long hotel capsule than a "trailer" from the inside. Outside is unmistakably vintage trailer vibes! Power points on both sides of the bed, one overhead light at each end of the trailer and a bedside lamp. Fridges are cold (one bar sized fridge in the trailer and one bigger bar fridge in the kitchenette). WiFi worked nice and fast. The bed is the right level of firmness and comfort, clean linen and a doona. No aircon but there is a fan provided and plenty of windows for ventilation with insect screens. Mid Feb stay with expected insect levels (barely noticed any except 5 mosquitos inside the trailer so just keep the door closed after dark, that said never got bitten even outside, nothing to worry about).
The shower and bathroom area is modern with good water pressure and hot water never ran out for two people showering morning and night. The kitchenette is cute and has everything you would need, including a single electronic hotplate. The nespresso style pod machine with milk frother was simple and lovely for mornings looking out from the sunny deck.
And of course the hot tub is the best thing to relax in on the deck after a day exploring the islands.
Highly recommended, will be staying again next time we visit Russell!
