Sea Veiws Russell

The location was absolutely stunning, we could not fault anything!

Loved it all.

Beautiful views, friendly considerate hosts ensured I had what I needed. Quiet location a few km from town (not walkable to shops), lots of Tui and other birds singing. Nice deck, floor-to-ceiling windows, barely heard the owners upstairs (a few rare footsteps). Felt like my own place. I recommend the short boat ride to Urupukapuka Island. Beautiful peaceful place with many tracks for tramping, great views. Also Waitangi is interesting. The cultural and historical presentations are worthwhile and the museum is informative.

Might’ve been nice to be more walkable (there is one vineyard/pizza restaurant about 2km away) but then you wouldn’t have the quiet, the native trees, the singing birds, the spectacular views. But town is only a 10 minute drive and I think there’s a passenger ferry to Paihia also. So I won’t say I didn’t like that about it. It was what I was looking for. I was very happy with the place.

The view was amazing . The unit was very well appointed . The owner is lovely and very helpful.

It was a bit smaller than I imagined. And didn’t realise it was under someone’s house. Having said that, it was very private, very clean and very well appointed and perfect for 2 people.

Amazing location with views over the Bay to Russel township. Our hosts Jane and Graeme were so friendly and helpful with every need attended to. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
