Great stay in Russell

Fantastic apartment with 3 good sized bedrooms and unparalleled views of the bay. Great location within 10 minutes of town and right next to The Flagstaff hike starting point. We parked our car for 4 days and did not need to use it once! Well stocked kitchen and BBQ. Would highly recommend .

Easiest Review to Write Ever.

A Noble View has spoiled us for any other bach or rental or VRBO or Air’n’B for ever. Nothing can compete because everything was perfect. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms bright and clean and the kitchen equipped to the nines.The view is to die-for from whichever window you look out and the walk to town is a mere 8 minutes. Marion and Colin have opened their home and have thought of anything one would ever need. Icing on the cake? We could hear the Kiwis singing all night.Thank you thank you … simply fantastic.

Beautiful views, great location

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon trip around Northland. We had a great few days during our stop here in Russell. This place is within a 5 min walk of the main strip with lots of great restaurants and the Wharf to take you across to Paihia as well. We didn’t need to drive anywhere, we walked to town every day for coffee and meals. We had take away at the house one night, the views from the deck are gorgeous, table and chairs out there to eat dinner as well. Would recommend this place to a couple or family looking for a great spot in Russell. Lovely!

Amazing stay

Our family had such a fantastic stay. Great location very close to the centre of Russell and a short walk up to Flagstaff Hill. Absolutely sensational views from a large, clean and homely house. Everything we could need was supplied, down to toys for the beach for the kids!! Great communication and care. Our whole family from aged 6 to 75 loves this stay!

Great view. Great house. Great hosts.

Marion was very responsive to multiple questions before we arrived. The view was great and the house was everything we wanted and had hoped for. The binder in the house recommended several restaurants and the recommendations were spot on. Since Marion and Collin live in the lower level of the house we had a chance to meet both of them and to chat with them a bit. In retrospect, we wish we had invited them out to dinner so that we could have chatted with them a bit more. Our only other regret is that we were only able to stay three nights.

A HOME WITH A VIEW

We've been to many VRBO stays, this stay is up there as one of the very best. We like to do some cooking, the kitchen was fully equipped, there was no amenity not thought of, the views were spectacular. Without a doubt we would highly recomment this VRBO. Lorraine

Fabulous!!

Another fantastic stay at Marion & Colin’s place. A Noble View is one of our all time fave places to stay… great location, great hosts… we just love how homely and relaxing it is staying here. Cleanliness is top notch! Love the laundry with the Miele washer and dryer. Views are just amazing!! Perfect for our family holiday in Russell. We can’t wait to go back next year. Thank you Marion
