The view was spectacular from our own private terrace. We ate in both nights to enjoy the view. Well equipped and very comfortable. Joan was also helpful but onobtrusive so we felt very at home.

The apartment was impeccably clean and well serviced with soaps, shampoos, and enough towels for the stay period. We assumed we would be far away from the busier Paihia, but staying Russell was very nice. Very calm and family oriented. The apartment was close to the waterfront and some historical sites nearby, all within a walking distance (a few steep uphills).

Annie nailed it! This cottage has everything the traveller could need tucked away in it, along with the understanding of what storage is required and where. It was also beautiful sitting outside on the patio, among all the flowers and trees on the property. These were populated by birds, so quite lovely. The place was extremely clean.

    I have been to Russell a couple of times before but only as day visits so to be honest Ive only stayed in the little township itself but loved that. This time I stayed a night to attend a function. The motel was the icing on the cake because where you stay can make or break a stay anywhere. The view of the harbour below with boats anchored..you couldn't beat. I want to come back..and my friend and I intend to. It's handiness was great. Great afternoon of shopping..something for everyone & delightful 'The Grazing table' cafe for home cooked sweets with delicious coffee. Would have liked to spend more time in the fabulous looking book store..great looking coffee table books on display but I ran out of time. There is something for everyone here. Russell town can easily be walked around in a short time without stopping..but who wants to do that. It's a lovely, interesting quaint place with a lovely harbour looking over to Paihia where you go to connect to main highway..eventually. A day passenger ferry runs regularly from Paihia & to. There are other areas to visit over the hill and the car ferry over from Opua is very quick and efficient. And least but not forgotten..the fantastic Duke of Marlborough hotel and accomodation with its elegance gracing the shoreline is a highlight. I had a lovely evening supportng the Recuse Helicopters fundraising event..it was spent under gorgeous chandelier lighting with all the simple but lovely table settings. Surely a grand gentleman which began in 1827 as 'Johnny Johnsons Grog Shop' by an ex convict come good!

    A beautiful serene village.

    A beautiful serene village. You need to be prepared to walk & explore the area. Lovely places to eat & drink - our most favourite is Hones Kitchen. Getting out on the water in a boat is an added bonus

    Beachfront walk, Pompallier House, French cafe next to Pompallier House, Christ Church historic Anglican church, especially the 10:30am service, the Russell Museum with extensive collections exceptionally well-presented and amazing and only $10. Long Beach. Boat trip to Urupukapuka Island and Cape Brett and Hole in the Rock. Okiato 7km away which was the early capital around 1840-1842, and had the site of the first Government House.

    A lot of things to do from, the tours, to just walk around town, close proximity, of ferry system. I would have liked to chose to stay longer, did not have enough time. The unit I chose was just at the city, line, and thus close enough, if you forgot anything, takes 5 minutes to go bac,k to Bnb, from city center,

    Russell is stunning with beautiful weather and scenery.

    Russell is stunning with beautiful weather and scenery. A slightly quieter pace of life, with lovely shops and attractions. The ferry is excellent and the scenic route to go to Whangarei and southbound by road as an alternative, is also very good. Russell has quick access to Paihia, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, and other places around the Bay of Islands. Chartered boats are available as well.
