We absolutely loved our stay here. So incredibly clean and comfortable. The gardens and the accommodation were just spotless, yet still so homely. The position is incredible and the owners so friendly and helpful.
I can’t recommend this place high enough!!! Incredible value for money!

Russell is a very cute historical town with much to offer the tourist both on the water and on the land. Great dining and wonderful hospitality. We had an amazing lunch at Sage Restaurant and would highly recommend it.

Russell is heavenly.
Russell is heavenly. It is so beautiful and we had the best time.
What a gem this part of the world has access to! The oysters were amazing. The food/experience and service at the Duke of Marlborough was first rate. The sunsets were surreal. The visit to Urupakapuka by ferry led to an amazing day of exercise and adventure, we had a heavenly swim in one of the islands isolated beaches by ourselves.
What a day!🥰

If you are around Bay of islands I suggest to not stay at Paihai and go to Russell. Smaller, quieter and much nicer. There is a ferry across to Paihai if you want to go there.
Long Beach is not to be missed and we enjoyed the Flagstaff walk too.

Nice & quiet in the middle of winter.Gets very busy at summertime so booking ahead is essential. Always good food at The Duke restaurant & great front rooms with a balcony with sea views & a view of the street, great for a couple of drinks before heading to the bar!

Russell was so cool.
Russell was so cool. Easy to get around and so lovely in Winter as very few people. The history is interesting and the people were mostly friendly.
Next time we will stay 3 nights as we really relaxed and book a trip to Sage restaurant for a special treat.
Great location right on Russell waterfront. There are picnic tables reserved for Lodge residents just above the beach with a fabulous view. We enjoyed eating a picnic dinner out there one evening. Simply fabulous.
While there is a pool we didn't use it as the Lodge is only a few steps away from the beach and preferred to swim in the sea. We did warm up in the spa pool after one swim which was very nice.
Well appointed kitchen to do breakfast, lunch and simple dinners.
The hostess was very helpful with all our requests.
Clean, tidy, spacious, comfortable studio. It’s within minutes walk to anything in Russell which is really handy when I went to the beach for an early morning walk before coming back for breakfast, or for an early morning ferry to Paihia.
Can cook a full dinner in the studio provided you have all the ingredients, kitchen is fully equipped.
