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.

Russell Studio
Steve and Yolanda have created a beautiful property in Russell, and the studio was perfect for us. It was just as I expected from the description, plus a couple of questions early on. Excellent communication from Yolanda. Our time was up all too soon and we will certainly return! Thank you Steve and Yolanda.

Exceptional Studio
Absolutely stunning quality studio set above Russell township only a short walk to the harbour / cafes / ferries and places of interest. We loved the peacefulness/ the bird song / relaxing on the deck - a real highlight of our trip to Northland.

Amazing spot in Russell
We loved our stay at this cozy unit in Russell! An amazing spot on the hill with beautiful views over the bay, where we spent many nights out on the deck watching the sunset. The place was modern, comfortable, clean and equipped with everything you need. We especially appreciated the aircon on hot nights, great shower and electric blinds for the added element of luxury. We will be sure to book again. Highly recommend!

A Modern Respite Amidst Beauty
A residence of excellent repute and enviable position, boasting views most sublime. A stone’s throw from cafes, eateries, and the ferry, society's delights within easy reach. Correspondence with the proprietors was marked by commendable efficiency and amiability. The abode, a paragon of cleanliness, adorned with modern décor. Our stay, a tranquil interlude, comfort-laden, wove into our memories a holiday not to be forgotten.

We stayed in the most gorgeous unit with the most amazing views over Russell and the surrounding areas. Super private and no distractions. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave and we will surely be back!!! We were close to all the places we wanted to visit and enjoyed the beaches only minutes away.

Unforgettable Stay in the Bay of Islands
Perfect location, amazing views. The studio had everything we needed and was an ideal base to explore the Bay of Islands area. The centre of Russel was very easy to walk to and has a good selection of places to eat and drink. Would happily have stayed for longer . Thankyou
