About the host
Hosted by Bay of Islands Hideaways

Hi I'm Kelly and I run Bay of Islands Hideaways. My husband and I have 3 young children and are lucky enough to call the Bay of Islands our home. I firmly believe when travelling that you truly get to know and appreciate a place so much more when you can stay and experience life like a local. Because of this I love the opportunities that holiday home rentals can provide for both myself and those staying in the houses I look after.
I take care of several properties in the area and get great enjoyment from meeting new people from all over the world and sharing in their experiences of our beautiful area.
As a family we love to get outside as much as possible. Whether its pottering around home in our garden, heading out to the beach or getting out on the water for some fishing

Why they chose this property
Russell just has everything you could possibly need for a great time away. There are world class restaurants right on the waterfront with a to die for view of the sunset nearly every evening. There are wonderful activities and attractions all within easy reach with historic places such as Christs church and Pompallier house right in town and out in the bay dolphin watching, sailing and islands tours leaving every day
What makes this property unique
I adore Villa du Fresne for its stunning views and its design which gives everyone their own space but also areas for all those staying there to come together. It is Cool in Summer and Cozy in winter. You just don't get this close to the ocean very often, the outlook is something else. It is a stones throw from great swimming and walking and then just 5 minutes drive from Russell township for restaurants and tourist attractions
