Perfect Location for the Bay of Islands Walking Festival, with a Welcoming Host & a Comfortable Stay
We stayed at this property for four nights while attending the Bay of Islands Walking Festival, and the location couldn't have been more perfect. All the walks started from the Russell Bowling Club, just a short distance away. The house was absolutely spotless, and Trish was an amazing host—so welcoming and attentive. We were three couples, and while the house was very comfortable, having only one bathroom with the toilet not separate was a bit challenging for us. Overall, it was a great stay, and we truly enjoyed the experience!

We loved staying at this bach which was very clean and tidy...if a little rundown. The location is amazing and the views are spectacular. We would definitely stay here again. Linen and towels were great but the shower head and water pressure was...average at best. For a family it was a good layout.

Fantastic Location
This is the second time we have stayed at Villa 8, and we returned because we had such a good experience last year. We love the layout as it really suits our family, and the kitchen is very well equipped. The check in process is also super simple. The only thing that slightly lets the villa down is the bathroom and shower, which really needs modernising. However we were prepared for it this time, and the kids found it funny that it was still the same!

The location of the villa is great. It's a short steep walk in to Russell but wasn't a problem for the kids. The villa had everything we needed for our holiday and was really clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Te Maiki villas and would definitely recommend this property to other families. Well stocked and very clean and tidy, the only minor criticism was the original, outdated bathroom.
