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.

Russell is a charming small town in the Bay of Islands, and this studio provided the perfect place to explore the area. It is a lovely studio, with a breathtaking view of the bay, and within easy walking distance to everything in the town. To sit out on the patio in the evening with a glass of wine, we thought we had found paradise…. Highly recommended!!

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.

Beautiful home on the hill

Such an amazing place and wonderful stay! Beautiful view from the bedroom and all the amenities that we needed. Quick responses from the hosts, let us park early and wandered around the quaint little town which was well within walking distance. Would absolutely love to stay again!
