Not at all private. This is an enclave of villas which are all very close together. Thank goodness there was no one else staying there at the same time. Very small sea view

Good location
We spent Christmas Day here and enjoyed ourselves. Kitchen had everything we needed, enjoyed our dinner on the deck, played some of the board games, and it’s a great location. Bit of a steep walk but lots of holiday makers making the trek on foot, and it was welcomed after so much food!

We enjoyed staying in Villa 2 - clean but quite dusty especially on bedheads,no body soap or tea tow
It was a great location - would definitely come again. I think there should be more wardrobe space available in single bedroom and not full of other stuff. We loved the deck surrounding the villa and the bbq would be great if we had not been booked to go out each night. I hope this has been helpful. Thanks.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay at Te Maiki - lovely location and nice and quiet. The villa was well equipped and spacious, with extensive decking outside to relax outdoors. There were only a few downsides: the cleanliness of cutlery and dishes was substandard (we washed everything before using it), the shower hadn't been cleaned, there is no wifi, and there were no instructions on how to use the TV. The lockbox was also tricky to get into. None of that would stop us staying there again though.

Short break.
Just a bit disappointed, the view is not as good as picture, we have stayed in a different villa and that does have this view, the outside decks are pretty run down, the house had an unpleasant smell on arrival, otherwise good, nice bedding and furniture, and a very handy spot to the village.

Great spot close to Russell Village
Great comms from Paul, thanks for late check out. House well equiped although another fan would have been helpful as was very warm. Lovely decor and linen, overall very clean. Steep drive so not great for walking to village if you have mobility concerns but fine for us. But on the hill also means a lovely view of the bay, a real plus. No wifi.

Why they chose this property

Russell is steeped in the history of New Zealand and is ideally placed to use as a base for extended touring. Villa 2 offers you the opportunity to absorb the surrounding atmosphere, kickback after a driving tour or local cruise. The entire privately owned complex has its own security personal and the grounds are maintained by gardeners. We have never regretted investing in the area and still find places to explore.

What makes this property unique

Lovely comfortable home with everything you need. It becomes your home away from home whilst there.
