About this property
Luxurious Russell - absolute waterfront!
Wake up to a breath-taking view every morning of your holiday with this absolute waterfront property. The peace and tranquility of this place has to be experienced to be believed.
This immaculate beach house has 5 bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens and ample living areas for the grown ups and the kids, making it the ideal place for holidays. This is the perfect house for two families holidaying together or an extended family situation.
If it's seclusion, peace and serenity you are after, you'll find it right here. Although if you need a little more excitement (or perhaps your teenagers do), the town of Russell is only 8 minutes drive away and Paihia also a short drive or ferry ride.
The master bedroom features panoramic views of the bay & includes a generous en-suite with walk-in wardrobe. All other rooms have either sea or bush views.
In this idyllic spot you can swim, kayak, fish off the beach, gather seafood , launch your boat from the front lawn or leave it on your mooring that comes with this property. This wonderful location has it all and is great for all water sports or simply enjoying the ever changing scene as it unfolds before you as you relax on the deck. This is laid back holidaying at its best.
- Kayaks and paddle boards are available for your use
- There is a Weber BBQ and fish filleting table on site
- You are welcome to bring a boat for fishing or pleasure cruising and may use our mooring while you stay.
Guest access
During your stay you will have access to the whole house and section. This includes a beautiful walk through native bush at the rear of the section.
Part of the charm of this place is its’ seclusion – you will never hear any road noise because there is no road! This means that vehicle access is only via the beach but the sand is hard packed so it’s no problem for driving, even for a 2 wheel drive vehicle. However this does mean that the home is not accessible by car for an hour or 2 either side of high tide so if you arrive and the water is lapping the front lawn, make use of the carpark at the end of the road, then it is a simple 2 minute walk along the beach. Make a coffee or pour a wine and by the time you’re done you can wander back and collect your vehicle.

About the host
Hosted by KOKOMO-18
My wife and I live in Russell in the beautiful Bay of Islands. We love sharing our little piece of paradise with our guests and giving them a holiday experience to remember. We are passionate about the area and its history so please ask if you would like any information about attractions, activities or history.
Why they chose this property
This secluded beach is at the end of a one-way road so there is no passing traffic (apart from on the water).
