David
The location of this hotel was perfect for my work trip as it provided easy access to The Russell wharf where I could board sightseeing boats and the ferry to Paihia. The staff were helpful and the facilities were top-notch, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.
The only thing that I missed during my stay was a dedicated business center or work space where I could handle my work-related tasks more efficiently.

The room was absolutely amazing, with a cozy bed and a furnished balcony. It felt like a home away from home.
Personally, I wasn't a fan of the iPod docking station. It's just not something I use regularly, but others might enjoy it.

Sam
The rooms were spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The location was also great, with easy access to the waterfront and restaurants. the staff were pleasant and helpful.
The noise level was quite high, especially during the Christmas period. It was difficult to get a good night's sleep with all the noise from other guests and nearby activities.

We got great value for our money at this hidden gem in Russell. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a spectacular view from the balcony. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and beachside restaurants. The owners, Peter and Lorraine, were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. They even organized a fantastic day of sailing for us!
The only thing that could have made the breakfast menu better would be more variety.

The tour desk at the lodge was incredibly helpful in organizing our snorkeling, diving, and cycling adventures. The complimentary diving, fishing, and snorkeling equipment made it convenient for us to enjoy these activities without any extra hassle. The area offers a wide variety of outdoor experiences, such as swimming with vibrant marine life, exploring underwater caves, and cycling along scenic coastal paths. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.
For dads, it would be great to have a playground on-site for the children.

The hotel’s location is superb, within easy walking distance to all the exciting activities in the center of town, filled with exquisite restaurants; the best of the Bay of Islands is within your reach. The room was well-equipped, with excellent facilities, a large bathroom, and an immaculately clean space. the hosts are fantastic; they were very friendly, welcoming, and supportive.
The hotel's breakfast had limited options and did not satisfy our expectations.

I loved waking up to the breathtaking view every morning. The hotel facilities were impressive, with a well-equipped kitchen that gave me the option to cook my meals. Additionally, this city’s location was perfect - just a short walk down the hill to the center of town, or a quick drive to Long Beach or the Bay of Islands. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
Didn't dislike anything about the hotel.

Spent Easter weekend in this charming place with great views. The rooms were spacious and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect, close to everything and at walking distance from the town center. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
Nothing to dislike actually. However, some rooms might not have a good view, so it's better to check beforehand.

The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The accommodation was perfect, with everything we needed for a great stay. The views from the balcony were absolutely stunning. A must-stay location when visiting New Zealand.
Felt completely satisfied, no complaints whatsoever.

We were welcomed with outstanding hospitality by the hosts, Peter and Lorraine, who provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. The room was spotlessly clean and had a breathtaking view of the bay from our private balcony. We especially enjoyed sipping our morning coffee while admiring the stunning scenery. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and beachside restaurants. To top it off, the owners went above and beyond to help arrange a sailing day for us, which turned out to be a highlight of our stay. we had an amazing weekend getaway and would highly recommend this lodge to couples and anyone seeking a memorable experience.

The breakfast served was delicious and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. The view from the room was stunning, with a beautiful sea view that definitely made our mornings brighter. The location was perfect, with easy access to shops and restaurants in the area.
Our holiday stay was during the Xmas time and the hosts did not make an effort to provide any festive decorations or an Xmas meal. the room lacked any festive touches or small gifts to add to the holiday cheer.

My stay at this accommodation was absolutely amazing! The view from the room was breathtaking, and the room itself was impeccably clean and comfortable. I was especially impressed with the hosts, who were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They even went above and beyond to accommodate my son and me by providing separate beds in the double room. I can't recommend staying here enough!
It was all superb! 😊
