We stayed for four days and absolutely loved our time here. The location is beautiful with stunning views, and the place felt so welcoming and well set up. Having coffee on the deck each morning was a real highlight. We’d love to stay again.

A female, travelling alone, and this was a safe & wonderful studio accommodation! It was clean, comfortable & cozy, and conveniently close to the beach, local hikes, and all amenities in Russell. I was able to walk to most things, so having a safe spot to park my rental car was appreciated. I like to cook for myself much of the time when I travel (dietary concerns), and the tools and equipment for using the BBQ were available. That, along with fridge, toaster, mic & tea kettle, covered all the cooking requirements for my stay. I particularly enjoyed my morning tea on the deck, while watching the boats coming & going in the bay. What an outstanding view! Thank you so much!

What a magic place to stay!

We loved this gorgeous little unit, it was beautifully appointed with everything we needed, and of course phenomenal views! Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and very generous in allowing our kids to pitch a tent on the front lawn. All in all a very memorable stay and we will be back.

Unforgettable Stay in the Bay of Islands

Perfect location, amazing views. The studio had everything we needed and was an ideal base to explore the Bay of Islands area. The centre of Russel was very easy to walk to and has a good selection of places to eat and drink. Would happily have stayed for longer . Thankyou

Great spot for exploring the bay of islands

The apartment was clean and had a fantastic view of the bay. About a five minute walk to the wharf and main street, keep in mind the drive way is quite steep. Super easy to catch a water taxi or get to meet up spot for tours. The hosts were very kind and accommodating to a last minute schedule change. Would absolutely stay again!
