    Very clean & comfy flat. Nice and quiet neighbourhood. There is a huge sting ray living in the beach next to the flat. You might find it sleeping under the bathing Island. Bridget had put red light torches in the flat for her guess to find Kiwis. We tried- unfortunately not successful. Im sure the next visitors will have more luck. One more thing. Book the Tucker Thompson boot-tour, when staying in Russell. It’s awesome.

    Nothing not to like but I would put a standing lamp behind the chairs as it is quite dark for evening reading. A bathroom shelf to place toiletries on is also needed.

    Everything. Bridget is a delightful owner. Lovely home. Supremely comfortable.

    Lovely two bedroom unit in beach-side neighbourhood

    Very friendly and accommodating host; well-presented two bedroom unit located under the host's two-storey house and deck, which provided cool shade in the summer heat; easy access from the road; car parking is on the grass verge at the side of the road; quiet beach-side neighbourhood with friendly neighbours; good location for spotting wild kiwis in the bush with an easy track (about 100-200 metres from the property) -- red light torches were provided for kiwi-spotting and we spotted three kiwis on our second night there; good easy access to lovely beaches. (Note: the photos of the property were taken just before our departure.)

    No cooker but we knew that before going and the Russell restaurants are great.

    It had everything we needed and Bridget went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The bed was big and comfy and the location is quiet. Very close to the beach and a short drive to Russell

    A little noisy overhead as two storey house and accommodation on the bottom floor but it was a busy time of the year so understandable.

    Bridget was super friendly and helpful. Lots of extra touches like coffee machine and kiwi specific torches. Appreciated that I could bring my well behaved dog and the location was fantastic, so close to two lovely beaches and close to a DOC walk along the headland and a lovely Bushwick nearby.

    Nothing

    Everything. I stayed here the weekend of the swim race from Paihia to Russel and it was the perfect place to relax. The room has everything you need for a great stay, the area was really quiet, the bed is the comfiest I've slept on anywhere, and, being such a hot weekend, I loved that the room stayed pleasantly cool which made sleeping a lot easier and more comfortable. Bridget was an absolutely wonderful host and helped to create the perfect stay. A bonus was being right next to Tapeka Point for great swimming the next day. Thanks Bridget :)

    Can't find anything I did not like, perhaps I wished we stayed longer:-)

    Location is key here. Close to two beaches and two wonderful walking tracks as well. only 2 min by car to Russell Township itself and about an hour on foot (one can combine two lovely shaded walking tracks for that). Russell's Long Beach (another fab swimming beach) is only about 5 min by car. The room is spacious and has all the amenities one would need for a short or longer stay (sorry no kitchen but there are plenty of good restaurants in Russell). Tapeka is the quiet suburb of Russell and if one is lucky one can view kiwi if going out at night.

    We enjoyed our stay on Russell, especially in the evening when the town was quiet.

    That it was a bit too far for us to walk to town. Not knowing the geography of the island, we didnt realise there was a large hill to navigate, therefore we had to drive in and out each time, and it would have been too dark to walk at night.

    The room was in a good location for the local beach and the kiwi viewing trail. Location was a few minutes drive from town, which was ok. Quiet part of the island, away from the crowds in town, which was also a nice break. We loved being able to go looking for Kiwi's in the bush walk at night.
