Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Russell

Wonderful relaxing place despite the less- than- great weather! Appreciated the beautiful views. We’ll be back again I’m sure.

Fantastic location and amazing place. Perfect for our stay. Will definitely be recommending to others. Thanks

We had a very enjoyable time at No 8 and spent the majority of our time relaxing on the deck, eating fish and chips and enjoying the view. The complimentary wine was a lovely touch , shower pressure was excellent, and all of us slept very well in our beds during our stay.

We came all the way from Wisconsin (USA) to visit an old friend that moved to Mangawhai. He recommended we headed north for the weekend and landed at Jordan’s home and we loved it. We spent most of our time on the patio / living space with the doors open listening to records. It was perfect. The home reminds me of my great grandparents cabin in up north Wisconsin when I was a kid. We spent time in downtown Kerikeri, where it had probably one of the coolest parks my son has ever been to (NZ had much cooler slides and zip lines than the US). We had friends that went fishing in the Bay of Islands that we ate for dinner that night at the house. We hit up the local market on Saturday morning where they had lots of vendors, music and food. We took the ferry over to Russell for the day. My son made friends with some of the neighbors while on some morning strolls. Definitely made the most of our time while we were there. Thanks for sharing your lovely home 🤙🏼💙

Blown away by location and beautifully presented home, complete with all the bells and whisltes. Loved that we had access to plenty of beach toys, games and books. Did not need a thing. Felt right at home after travelling 800kms. Perfect size for a big whanau who love the beach. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning.

Nikki and Chris’s place is clean and well maintained. Two of the bedrooms are in the basement while the master and two more on the main floor. The spa and pool are an excellent addition for our stay. The kids had a blast.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the inclement Easter weather. In fact the spacious and comfortable home helped to ease the problems caused by the stormy weather with us being able to wash and dry soaked clothing with ease. We would love to stay here again when the weather gods are kinder.

Veronica was wonderful, even brought a jacket back to Auckland for us that we had accidentally left behind. We had a great stay, thanks so much.

beautiful and quiet surroundings. Highly recommended

Beautiful, peaceful location. House was spotless and had everything you needed. Multiple outside zones to enjoy the nature and water views. Super private and only a 7 min drive to the heart of Russell.

James was a very accommodating and responsive host, the two properties are exactly as shown and served our large family gathering well. We got to hunker down in a cyclone but always felt sheltered and safe. Great for large groups!

Fantastic place in magical setting hosted by top tier hosts

We are delighted with our holiday at Terry’s beautiful home. An incredible view in a position that must be classed as a national treasure! The house is excellent in every way. Super design, spacious rooms highly comfortable beds, a lovely spa pool, highly equipped kitchen and many other great features - all that one can possibly need. Thank you so much Terry for your generosity and care. Thank you also for the lovely arrival gifts and the information pack, etc.

Immaculate presentation in a simply stunning location. Fantastic hosts and complete privacy and seclusion. Whangaroa is a hidden jewel, off the beaten track, with plenty of great activities close by. Highly recommend to stay and play at Kauri Hill.

Amazing views, exceptional place and Jeff is a great host. This was a very memorable relaxing holiday. We hope to visit this stunning place again sometime soon!!
