Romantic Waterfront - Russell - Fantastic Location

Exuding style and spaciousness with views over Matauwhi Bay, Romantic Russell offers a tranquil holiday retreat close to the boat club and just a short, scenic walk into town.

This serene, waterfront hideaway is ideal for a fabulous, comfortable stay from start to finish. The home boasts a charming double bedroom, two cozy sunrooms, and an open-plan living area that seamlessly flow onto a spacious wooden deck.

Here, you'll find the perfect spot for indoor-outdoor living, whether you’re unwinding with a glass of wine or enjoying a classic charcuterie board on the picnic table. Whip up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen or fire up the BBQ for a classic summer evening.

After a day of exploring, retreat to the comfy lounge area with a Smart TV, Wi-Fi, books, and board games for ample entertainment options. Romantic Russell comfortably sleeps up to four guests with a beautiful master bedroom, large double pull-out sofa bed and a sunroom double sofa bed.

The modern bathroom, featuring a large tiled shower, offers a touch of luxury—and if you leave the door open, you can enjoy water views as you refresh. Start your mornings with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the Nespresso Coffee machine and savour a relaxing, romantic getaway in this secluded retreat.

Russell Village, with its charming shops, cafes, and Four Square supermarket, is just a two-minute drive or a 12-minute stroll away. Head to Russell Wharf and book a dolphin cruise to the iconic Hole in the Rock, a game fishing charter, or an exhilarating jet boat ride.

For a quieter day, enjoy the sandy shores of Oneroa Bay, just a five-minute drive from your door, then come home and rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower before settling in for the evening. Dive into the rich history of Russell by visiting Pompallier House, built in 1842, or the Russell Museum to explore New Zealand’s heritage.

Everything you need for a romantic escape awaits at Romantic Russell.

Perfect getaway in the most beautiful setting. Just enough for 2 for the 5 nights we had. Even though it was a cold week we were cosy.
