Paradise!

I had a friend visiting from the states who wanted to see more of New Zealand and to visit my daughter and her husband who are living in Whangarei. We decided to meet in Russell. Te Maiki Villa 3 suited us perfectly. We loved having three bedrooms, the kitchen was well equipped, the view was spectacular, it was close enough to town to walk and we appreciated the history of the property. We will come and are confident in recommending it to you and our friends/family that want to visit Russell.

Magical stay in the Bay of Islands

We loved our stay at Te Maiki. It was the perfect distance to the town of Russell which made it easy for trips and walking. The space was great, opening up all the doors and looking at the ocean was perfect. The kitchen has everything you need. Trish was so helpful and lovely to communicate with. Thanks so much :) would return!

Great location with beautiful views.

Everything was excellent. Maybe look at changing locks on exterior doors as they were difficult to open and close. Also interior door to bedrooms needed shaving so as it could be opened and closed. Will recommend to friends.

Te Maiki villas

Perfect location with wonderful views and walking distance to the Russell village. Wonderful bird life and doors opening out onto Bush and views. The property had everything we needed however BBQ was not clean so we did not use and there was an offensive odour which appeared from the somewhat new carpet. The manager was available and helpful.

Beautiful and handy location

The property was the perfect size for our group of 4 adults. The view was stunning and we enjoyed having the little lawn in front of the deck. Trish was quick to remedy an issue with nails on the deck when we mentioned it. The property is very well stocked with kitchen needs and there was milk in the fridge and ice in the freeze. Our only grumble was that we had to leave at the end of our weekend! We will be back.

Russell RnR

We had an enjoyable stay in Villa 3 which unfortunately was not quite as good as it could have been due to there being no hot water available for showers and washing up and the BBQ was in an unsafe condition to use. Trish did her utmost to get the HWC repaired before we arrived but since this was not possible, Trish was great and offered us the use of her own villa which happened to be vacant. Due to the bedding configuration in her villa, which didn't suit our requirements, we opted to only use the showers and boiled water in Villa 3 to do our dishes. She also offered us the use of her BBQ which we used for several meals. All in all, we had a nice weekend and worked around the lack of hot water (glamping!). We would happily stay at the villas again. Thanks Trish.
