Situated in Russell, 1.3 km from Long Beach and 1.9 km from Tapeka Point Beach, LAST ON THE STRAND, RUSSELL - The BOATHOUSE offers a garden and air conditioning.

Great location on the waterfront. Water pressure in showers was very poor. House is quite old but is in an awesome location and was comfortable.

Located in Russell, 1.3 km from Long Beach and 1.9 km from Tapeka Point Beach, LAST ON THE STRAND, RUSSELL - The NEST offers water sports facilities and air conditioning.

The location is absolutely stunning however the unit needs a bit of work done to it to make it better. The shower was blocked the toilet seat was not secure a vacuum cleaner or a half brush was needed and a door mat might have been dry your feet might have been good. However the location as I said was second to none.

Situated within less than 1 km of Long Beach and 2.2 km of Tapeka Point Beach, Bellrock Lodge features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Russell.

Spotless, spacious & well equipped accommodation a few mins walk to centre. Stunning views from the balcony. We had a great 3 night stay. Laundry room, hot tub were nice extras. Quite a steep driveway for walking back but would not put me off returning or recommending. Hosts were attentive & responsive to any questions & requests.

    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.

    Russell is a lovely seaside village.

    Russell is a lovely seaside village. It's easy to get around by foot, there are plenty of places for dinner, and for a change you can take the ferry across to Paihia in 5-7 minutes. The Duke is great for lunch or dinner, Butterfish has great breakfast, Hell Hole does great coffee, both supermarkets are convenient. Long Beach is lovely. Flagstaff Reserve is worth a visit.

    Russell is a lovely place.

    Russell is a lovely place. Took a boat to Hole in the Rock, day was perfect, saw dolphins, native birds. Captain explained the islands and pointed out sights of interest. Restaurants and shops very close. We ate out a bit and never had a bad meal. Lots to do in Russell.

    On the recommendation of locals, we visited Long Beach.

    On the recommendation of locals, we visited Long Beach. We enjoyed our visits to Pompellier Mission (cafe anf gardens) The Flagstaff look out, Tapeka Point - where, in Rocky Bay Reserve, there is a small hole in the rock you can clamber out and see at low tide (photo included). We took the Explore cruise out to the Hole in the Rock - great journey, we saw dolphins and had a walk seeing unusual birds Urupukapka Island

    Overall, this property was exceptional. I thought I had booked a basic apartment, considering the price - but the actual property was impeccable. Rooms were recently renovated, fully equiped and comfortable. Host instructions were clear and support when I needed it was amazing. Amenities were great, location was only a few hundred metres walk to waterfront and restaurants. Highly recommended for your stay in Russell. (NB stayed with 2adults, 2 children: apartment was small but perfect for our stay for a few days!)

    A boutique lodge located a very short walk into the idyllic town of Russell in the Bay Of Islands. Greg and Peter are the best hosts. Before we arrived they recommended some superb places to eat. The breakfasts are to die for, beautifully presented and making use of ingredients from the garden Peter beats any chef I have encountered. The rooms are tastefully kitted out with everything you could possibly want and have views overlooking the bay. Couldn’t fault it, the most perfect three night stay!

    Fabulous view 😍 I stayed in the studio, as a solo traveler it suited my needs. Sitting in the spa, enjoying the amazing view each evening after a days kayaking & sailing was an absolute pleasure. A few minutes drive from Russell with fantastic shops and restaurants, the esplanade is so pretty for an evening stroll or meal. Comfortable and clean, well equipped studio room Enjoyed a walk up to Tapeka Pa - Stunning views

    Wisteria Cottage is set in a beautiful garden in a great location. The bed was very comfortable and the shower excellent. We enjoyed eating breakfast in the garden and it was a very short walk to all the amenities in Russell and near the beautiful Long Beach. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and plan to return.
