House vacation rentals in Russell

It is not 5 star accommodation but it did not say it was. It was clean and things worked. Great value for a group of friends travelling. 2 night stay sitting on the deck in the evening, the view of the falls and below was great. We ate at the manor a couple of minutes' walk away and enjoyed Karoke. Second night we made dinner. What was important to us? a) 8 of us can stay together b) keeping cost down c) clean. We will come back in again on the next trip in 2026.

This home is awesome, so close to everything and has everything you need. Unfortunately, the pool heating wasn't playing ball but we were able to take advantage of the spa.

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 had a great stay at Christinne’s place… she was very helpful, gave us some great recommendations and the accommodation was perfect! Very clean, very spacious and an amazing location. 10/10 will come again

very friendly host with lots of advice on sights to visit. accommodation was private, clean and peaceful. I would highly recommend staying here.

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

Peaceful and beautiful place, when you wake up in the morning, you'll see the green grass, some cows and lots of sheeps. Reasonable distance to Paihia

Highly recommend this fabulous place, clean, quiet and easy walking into town. Accommodation is well suited for 8 visitors. Loved the three bathrooms, plenty of towels and easy to book and use the shared facilities, pool, spa and bbq. Thank you Olivia, we will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay in the Bay of Islands. The house and location is truly remarkable. Kelly is a fantastic host… even dropping round a Nespresso machine upon request:). A very memorable holiday indeed.

We had a fantastic time at Margaret’s place in Kerikeri. The place was spotless, well-equipped, and had a cozy, welcoming vibe. The location was perfect—close to local cafes, shops, and stunning nature spots. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Bay of Islands!

We loved every second of our stay: the cozy bach, the view, the quietness - a perfect home! Thank you so much ♥️

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.

Francine’s house is located at a quiet residential area,five minutes drive to restaurants and shops. the rooms and bathrooms are specious, the deck is overlooking at a beautiful view of the forests very relaxing.Thank you Francie for your prompt response and the late check out. Francie we had a good time at your home however the stairs at the entry were challenging for my husband as he had difficulty going up and down the stairs, not suitable for people with disabilities. I should have checked that out .Highly recommend if the stairs are not an issue.

Stunning week away over Easter. We arrived a few hours after a cyclone, which meant no power and water. Anneke was great with all communication about the situation. We chose to stay hoping the power would be back on soon. The next day it was. Meanwhile, Anneke bought us wine and coffee and then arranged a generator so we could shower and charge phones etc. Then we had six glorious days of sunshine with the odd shower. We love walking, so explored all the local walks in the booklets and info guide. Every afternoon we relaxed on the deck just watching the ocean and boats. We ended our days with an outdoor bath, which was Devine. Anneke was a wonderful host. A true legend. The Bach was beautiful, clean, new and private. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Staffa Bay! A beautiful place to be able to holiday at and we thoroughly enjoyed the home and easy access to the beach. Nice view and peaceful spot! Hosts were great with their communication and very helpful in making sure our stay was a good time.

We had a wonderful stay at Tracy’s place, who kept in contact with us throughout our stay in case we needed anything! The place had everything we needed and more 😊 We especially loved the table tennis which kept us busy during the stormy and rainy days 😊 We can highly recommend staying here! Elisa & Co.

We had some family out from the UK and went for this property for the view and spa. We were absolutely blown away by the view and the house. Beautiful decor and great kitchen equipment. Not the cheapest place but worth spoiling yourself for. Paihia is a great little spot with plenty to do.

Great place and location with stunning views. Everything you could possibly need. Judy was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you!

I stayed here a few days after my wedding with my husband, 2 small children, parents and siblings. The house was amazing, especially the view of the ocean from the deck. The place was clean, nicely decorated, well stocked and Kirsty communicated really well. She even left us a card and bottle of cava to celebrate our wedding! It was private but a 3 min drive to central Russell. The driveway was steep but easily fit our 4 cars. We cannot fault our stay at all and I would definitely stay here again. We saw fantails, Tuis and weka and the garden was beautiful.

awesome place, so quiet and close to everything

Excellent weekend in Pahia. Great location. Close to town.

amazing accommodation, the house has everything you need even for a longer stay. Good beds, mosquito nets, everything clean. Nice and helpful hosts. We spent a wonderful three weeks. Beaches close by by car, for example Matapouri, I think one of the most beautiful.

The house is absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The views are stunning and we loved every bit of it. The weather wasn’t on our side this time around so we hope to come back and experience this beautiful home in summer. Simon and Angie were very kind and helpful throughout our trip.

We loved staying at Tapeka View. Lovely place. Beautiful interior design. Amazing views. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. But unfortunately no spa for us as the spa pool in the photos belongs to a different unit.
