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.

Offering a garden and sea view, The Waterfront Studio Opito Bay is set in Kerikeri, 37 km from Opua Forest and 16 km from Kemp House and Stone Store.

The waterfront studio was one of the most scenic places we have stayed. The view is outstanding and the room is excellent. It was so good that we stayed in every night for dinner to enjoy the view and location. We were exceptionally well hosted and the room was great value with breakfast and cheeses provided. We would definitely return and recommend this for your next stay.

    Fabulous hosts - very friendly and supportive. Met us upon arrival. Helped us with parking the car. It is a great quiet location with an excellent internal and external layout. Fabulous terrace in front of the house. Well insulated, very private, you can hear the kiwis at night. House is a very modern build to a high spec. Feels very relaxing and well laid out.

    It was in a beautiful quiet idyllic setting with amazing views from balcony of Russell Bay, short walk to the lovely town and bay. Very comfortable with all amenities and fresh fruit and breakfast provided. Sue is a wonderful host who is very involved in the community and has vast information about the area. We loved it.

    The hosts are a charming and personal couple. We had a bit of luck, got an upgrade, and had ample space for the three of us. The rooms are tidy and well-equipped. Lots of onsite parking, a nice pool and pool area, and quiet surroundings. We came back a day later to stay for another two nights.

    Beautiful garden with lots of birds singing. Great host, who called us afterwards to let us know we left our phone and then went out of her way to leave it at a convenient location. Comfortable room and private patio. Great location. We will be back
