Summary of reviewsBreathtaking views, well-equipped property, private beach access, and comfortable furnishings make this an exceptional stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
The views from every window it the home are outstanding, the layout is super comfortable and the surroundings are unbelievably peaceful. There's direct access to a small beach for shell picking and swimming, and the quaint town of Russell is only a short drive away. Although I would say this home is more suited to adults, and not so much young children.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2024
This was by far the highlight of our 21 day trip to NZ. The views alone should convince anyone to stay here but the fact that it had its own beach (swimmable) and was an easy drive to Russell for dinner or shopping makes it the best spot to stay. I would just say that an improvement could be updating the cookware to new (had well- used fry pans, plastic mixing bowls and eclectic mug collection obviously from the owners family). The gardens were gorgeous and if we come back we will definitely stay here again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2023
This is an exceptional property. Spectacular private setting and gardens overlooking the Bay of Islands. Very well maintained, comfortable and spacious home a short 10 minute drive to Russell.
5 / 10·Apr 2018
This property is amazing and the views from every room are sensational! It has a wonderful open plan living area with glass entirely on one slide to allow you to take in the views. We were a group of 5 adults (two couples and one single) and none of us wanted to leave after staying in the house for a week. This has to be one of the best properties we've ever rented and have travelled extensively over the last 25 years.
