About this property

Te Maiki Retreat - Russell Holiday Home

Lifted up above the treetops, on the hillside, capturing spectacular views of the surrounding scenery and glistening harbour - waiting to host your stay is Te Maiki Retreat.

Wake up and sip a freshly brewed coffee from the machine out on the sundeck overlooking the water, spend your days watching the boats turn with the tide and feel the stress melt away.

This elevated villa, with WiFi, comes with 3-bedrooms spread across two levels, and a wide-open living area that effortlessly flows out to the stunning views and sundeck for outdoor living.

Imagine sun-drenched holidays with ice-cold drinks and a good book relaxing with this amazing backdrop, make sure to get a good snap or two. Or when you get home after a day exploring, fire up the BBQ and spend your warm evenings dining alfresco. During the colder months - get cosy and throw on a DVD.

Te Maiki Retreat is located just a 5-minute walk into the village centre, where you'll find the 4 Square, cafes and the historic hotel. Newports Chocolate shop is a must for anyone wanting to indulge their sweet tooth.

The Russell wharf is also a short walk from your doorstep from where many local attractions depart, including boat charters of all kinds, fishing, Bay of Islands cruises, dolphin and whale watching and parasailing. The best way to experience this beautiful region is from the water!

Nice view (covered by overgrown trees) but that’s about it
The house was very average and wreaked of mustiness on arrival. Probably due to the bad condensation issue (we mopped windows in the mornings!) and years of unwashed curtains and carpets? That should be addressed. Broken furniture and shoddy decking did little to impress outside and the trees were overgrown and ruining what could have been a spectacular view. The knives in the kitchen were very blunt and pretty unusable and need replacing. It’s those little things that make a difference to guests. Overall a tired accomodation that could do with some love to get it ‘guest ready’ again. We appreciated the slightly earlier check in time though.

Wonderful View
Stayed here for three nights. What a lovely view. Every evening we sat on the lanai, ate dinner and watched the sunset. The house is a little rough around the edges, but very comfortable. You can't beat the view.

Good Location and a Great View
First of all, the view from the deck was fantastic. The property is at the end of a steep rise so that is something to bear in mind (was not an issue for us). The property is a little tired around the edges but we were extremely comfortable and had the best nights' sleep for ages. We'll miss that view!
