Russell is a charming small town in the Bay of Islands, and this studio provided the perfect place to explore the area. It is a lovely studio, with a breathtaking view of the bay, and within easy walking distance to everything in the town. To sit out on the patio in the evening with a glass of wine, we thought we had found paradise…. Highly recommended!!

What a magic place to stay!

We loved this gorgeous little unit, it was beautifully appointed with everything we needed, and of course phenomenal views! Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and very generous in allowing our kids to pitch a tent on the front lawn. All in all a very memorable stay and we will be back.
