Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Russell

We have stayed here several times now and enjoy the experience every time. Fantastic location, great host.

It is a fabulous place to stay for families and the additional equipment that they have for the families to use is amazing. The setting is glorious and outlook is stunning. The Bay its self is very safe for children to undertake water activities. The hosts were lovely and went above and beyond with additional options for linen because of the rainy weather conditions. We would have no hesitation in booking to stay again.

Lovely spacious and modern house with a beautiful view from the lounge. House was close to town centre. Bathrooms were modern and water had good pressure. Kitchen was functional with plenty appliances and amenities. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will return when back in Russell.

Great accomodation and service with Peter. Would highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful.. Bach was very clean, Owner helped with any questions we had, very quick response, Views was incredible, Peaceful.. you cannot find a better spot.. 10/10 loved it!! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back :) Thanks !

This images don't do this place justice. The place was beautiful and Rachel's communication + care was just *chef's kiss*. if you are planning a trip to Paihia, this bnb is where you need to be to elevate your trip experience.

The house is lovely, large and so comfortable — with views from every room! The location is extraordinary. Easy to walk 2 min into the charming town with everything you need and lots of things to do all around. But it’s nice just to sit on the porch and take it all in. It is truly a magic place and Lyn’s home is the most welcoming and wonderful place to be! We hope to come back!

We were a group of three couples (six people total), so we booked a place with three bedrooms to comfortably accommodate everyone. Sophie’s place turned out to be a great choice — all of us were very satisfied with the stay. One thing I had overlooked before booking was that there is only one bathroom (toilet, shower, and hand washing all in one space), so we had to be mindful of taking turns to avoid overlaps. Also, there were no mirrors in the bedrooms, which made it a bit inconvenient when getting ready. It would be even better if mirrors were placed inside the wardrobes or somewhere in the rooms. Only one of the three bedrooms had an oil heater, so the couple staying in that room were a bit envious by the others. ;-) Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and we’d be happy to come back the next time we travel to this area.

We had a lovely stay – the house was perfect for our group, with plenty of space and a great layout. It’s well-equipped, beautifully located, and the views are stunning. Despite the wild weather, it was a relaxing place to unwind. We were lucky with sunshine on our last day and made the most of the lawn, trampoline, and pool. The house isn’t a show home and could use a refresh in places, but it’s comfortable, homely, and ideal for groups. Communication was easy and everything was as described. Would absolutely stay again – I bet it's even better in sunny weather!

Anika was a fantastic host and the house is close to so many cute shops and cafes.

Diane’s place was absolutely lovely! The service was above and beyond, the place was nice and cosy. It was super convenient being right off the highway, but so quiet you couldn’t tell. Beautiful fruit trees on the property. The hosts were available and friendly but also gave us our space.

We can’t wait to come back here. We were four couples, two young children. The house and facilities gave everyone plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together. It’s a great space with plenty to do.

We really enjoyed our stay, the fresh oranges were great. Claes was a great host and he checked in with us to make sure we were alright and didn’t need anything. The area is beautiful and a great base to come back to after various day trips. The animals are friendly.

The cottage has a gorgeous view - such a treat to wake up to it every morning. Really spacious and ideal for a couple. Short drive away from some amazing beaches. Thank you, Kathy!

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

Russell is an INCREDABLE place . Spectacular. We sat on Main Street for hours . Loved it so much we stayed another night. Kiwis on the property!!!! Shane was a ripper bloke . Could not have been nicer . His local knowledge was Olympic class. I could have slept on a rock and would have loved the Russell experience. Beautiful harbour.

The bach was lovely, real kiwi bach also Toni was amazing to deal with and left clear instructions on how to get to the bach as well as checking ourselves in Had everything you possibly would need for a trip away I absolutely loved the place and such an awesome area! The beach would be perfect for kids or swimmers who aren't to confident as the waves aren't strong at all but also have the option of a short walk to the end of the beach to a big shallow area with very little to no waves I really recommend this little bach, I fell in love and definitely would stay again!!

We stayed for a week and were very impressed with the quality of the property. Both bathrooms were large and have wet room showers and a large bath which was great. The bedrooms were very comfortable and also spacious, as were the living areas. The outside to the rear had a large decked area with seating and hammock with unbeatable views. It’s situated just outside of Kerikeri, only a 5-10 min drive into the centre so well located. I could go on but all in all, a great property with which we would not hesitate to recommend. The host was great, very communicative and helpful.

We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in de cottage! Jane en Craig zijn super vriendelijk en meedenkend, heel behulpzaam. We verbleven hier vijf weken met onze twee kinderen en we voelden ons helemaal thuis, ook omdat het huis van alle gemakken voorzien is. Dus ook voor een gezin en voor langere tijd raden wij deze gezellige cottage aan!

Nicola was a great host welcoming me on the first day, and communicating with me continuously until I vacated her residence. A lovely quite stay in the Bay of Islands .

We would thoroughly recommend this beautiful property, it was well appointed, spacious and very clean, we felt right at home straight away. It had a lovely bathroom with a great shower and a really comfortable bed. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay! The garden is beautiful! Carol and Nigel were extremely welcoming and were great hosts. We had the most amazing breakfast and didn't need to eat for the rest of the day! We would definitely stay again and it was a pleasure to meet Carol and Nigel, we had such a lovely chat with them, they could easily be friends! Thank you both Angela and Tony

We had a fantastic and relaxing stay at Dee's place, all the amenities were provided and the place itself is bigger and more spacious than what appears in the photos. Although I didn't meet Dee, she was very responsive and accommodating, setting up an extra bed for the last minute addition to our group. We appreciated the quiet and bucolic setting and we would absolutely stay here again!

Quite and serene place to relax and unwind. Pahia town center is about 30 minutes drive. Experienced beautiful night sky full of stars.

epic spot.. awesome host! Highly recommend! Thank you for having us can't wait to return next year!!
