Another fantastic stay at Marion & Colin’s place. A Noble View is one of our all time fave places to stay… great location, great hosts… we just love how homely and relaxing it is staying here.

Incredible views! A perfect stay

We absolutely loved our stay at A Noble View - the views from the balcony were amazing and the house had everything we needed. Great to be a short 10 min walk to all the cafes and restaurants in town. Marion was really helpful with sharing lots of recommendations - we enjoyed meeting you and hearing your brilliant stories 😊

A noble stay at A Noble View!

The property was exactly as described, immaculate, comfortable, well-equipped and warm. The view is simply splendid. Beds were comfortable and the hosts were lovely to deal with. We were aware that the road up to the house is very steep so it wasn't a surprise to us but it really means walking back from the pub is a big effort if you're going to try!

Fabulous!

Really enjoyed our short stay at Marion and Colins. Was the perfect place to spend time with family in a place that just just feels like a home away from home. Beautiful spot, beautiful place with plenty of room, spectacular views. Really enjoyed relaxing the night away on the deck overlooking the sea. Was hard to leave that's for sure! Thanks so much guys@

CAN I STAY A LITTLE WHILE LONGER?

I took a couple colleagues to plan the rest of the years courses. From the moment I got to Russell by Ferry, I automatically felt like I had disconnected from the Auckland smog life - well I sure did. The property is absolutely beautiful with stunning panoramic views. The interior of the house is well situated and made me intentionally feel like I was home and could turn off from the rest of the world. Unfortunately I was with teachers who kept me on track to get the planning completed. But all I wanted to do is sleep, eat and lounge around. The home was easy to work, comfortable and warm. It was extremely clean and ready to go with finer details thought of almost making anything we did feel like an extension of how we would normally live or where we’d normally put things. Thank you again for an amazing retreat. I will be back again. This time by myself. Hehe!

Noble View

Apart from the wonderful harbour views over Russell and across to Paihia it was nice to see wekas , kereru and hear kiwi at night. The property was clean, spacious, inviting and comfortable with extras provided such as tea,coffee,milk,S& P & spices/oil. The heating system was excellent filtering throughout the house and off road parking was easy . The location was just right with a short walk ( 5-6 min) to town and just a little steep coming back up but very doable and another 15-20 min steepish walk up Wellington rd to Flagstaff and viewing platform was well worth the effort. Marion and Colin were perfect hosts and provided all the information we needed for a relaxing stay .

Panoramic view, luxurious accommodation.

Prime location with both a panoramic harbour view and lush bush setting. Totally private, quiet and peaceful, with comfortable and luxurious furnishings. The hosts were unobtrusive but very helpful, thoughtfully leaving coffee, tea and milk for those who’d forgotten to pre-arrange. Walking distance to historical locations in Russell and a good base for holidaying in the Bay of Islands.
