About this property

Clendon Lodge Studio

We offer full refund if Covid-19 lockdown prevents travel.
Self contained 2 Bedroom studio on 11 acres with stream and riparian rites.
Peaceful location for relaxing, as a base for exploring the Bay of Island, biking, boating and outdoor activities.
Studio also has bathroom, living area, Smart TV and kitchenette. Can also be rented as an annex to the historic Clendon Lodge Homestead also on site.
Access is flat with heaps of space for cars and boat trailers.
Tidal concrete launching ramp (High tide +/- 2 hours) and fish bench.
All tide boat launching available at Te Uenga about 5km away.
No boat? Some guests fish from the kayaks or at low tide walk out to fish from nearby rocks.

Swimming is fun in the stream at high tide and there is shallow swimming from the beach although its a long walk to get deep water. Good swimming in the bay at Jills Beach within walking distance, and about 15 minutes drive to Eliotts Bay on the East Coast for sand and surf.
Escape to the cool of the forest at two easy Kauri walks, (best for children over 3yrs).
Walk to the old Whangamumu Whaling station or even to Cape Brett.

In Russell about 15 minutes away (17 km) are cafes, restaurants, tours (e.g. Hole in the Rock), fishing charters, museum and oyster farms. The local mini bus tour is highly recommended.

Further afield Paihia, Waitangi and Kerikeri offer history, shopping, winerys and golf.

Your hosts live in nearby house on the property and can assist with baby sitting and meeting your needs.

Please bring your own beach towels, wet shoes and fishing rods.

Clendon Lodge, consisting of Studio, Historic Homestead and Lodge B and B is a stunning venue for marquee weddings and enquiries are welcome.

Although no washing machine in the Studio arrangements can be made with hosts.
Special conditions:
Regrettably we cannot allow the cooking of curry as we have found it impossible to guarantee the removal of the smell for subsequent guests.

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$50.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Best family trip ever
Clendon Lodge is a beautiful historic property, immaculate grounds and really well appointed accommodation. Lots of space and activities for kids to use and the perfect gateway to the islands. We loved it!

Quiet getaway in Russell
Lovely hosts very friendly and nicely decorated studio. Shower pressure was awesome, would have been good to have plug point in the bathroom though. The only downfall to our stay was the sofa, we found it to be very uncomfortable so after only an an hour on it we were both very sore, which was disappointing. Besides that overall it was a pleasant place to stay.
