Magic Water Views Russell

Modern, spacious and well appointed home with views to die for. Two double bedrooms, each with wonderful water views to wake up to. This home is perfect for couples looking for a getaway. Close to historic Russell and all it's charms, yet private and spacious enough so you can relax and unwind. Listen to nearby kiwi in the bush at night, you have seclusion and quiet all around.
The home is set up to maximise the magic views. A large open plan kitchen and dining room with wrap around decks make for a comfortable relaxing stay. Go exploring Russell and the surrounds or hunker down and relax, reading a book on the day bed.

Beautiful views from stunning property near Russell

This is a spacious well appointed comfortable property. Has everything you need for a short or longer stay and is very private and exclusive. This is not a rustic bach in New Zealand - it is a sophisticated holiday home. The Wifi is good too. It is close to Russell as well as near the ferry over to Paihia and Waitangi. There are many things to do around here - boat trips, walks etc and also some very good restaurants nearby. Highly recommended.

A great stay in Russell

A great stay in a wonderful location helped by some lovely weather. The property was exactly as advertised and afforded lovely views of the bay. We were able to take advantage of what Russell had to offer including a trip up to the Flagstaff to learn about the history and have more great views and also to go on a pleasure boat through the hole in the rock.

Incredible

Stunning views. Expansive living, dining and kitchen area. Multiple outdoor areas with views. The best bit...morepork and kiwi calling at night make for highly addictive listening.! Birdlife during the day equally mesmerising. Will definitely return.

Absolutely beautiful view and property!

Just sitting at the window seat and watching the endless awesome birds in the morning was such a treat and the cows next store. It's about a 3 min drive to town. A 1.2 mile walk which I don't suggest because it's along a highway uphill, unless you take the boardwalk through the mangroves and then straight up 1.7 miles into a forest for another 1.5 miles. There is one taxi into town if you'd like. Definitely recommend Sage restaurant and Urupukapuka Island for the most incredible (although a tough uphill) hike and views. Loved every minute of this property and this island!

Wonderful Bach

We were so very pleased with our week long stay. The location just minutes to Russell was perfect for our vacation plans. The view and sunsets were stunning and especially wonderful from the large deck accompanied by bird song. The house (aka Bach) had all of the required amenities and was spotless. Thanks again for the memorable stay!

Everything was as described. This was the perfect break for our young family. Weather was terrible but some things are out of your control and the house was the perfect place to see out the bad weather. We will be back.
