Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Russell

Amazing beachfront view. House was well furnished and clean. Instructions were clear, not a problem checking in. Everything you might need is provided. Awesome stay! Would recommend!

Spent nearly 2 months right here, don’t think we can find any better place around this area. Thank you Peter, for your great help and your hospitality, all the kids have great time at here.

Amy's place was even nicer than the pictures! Our family of 5 loved staying in this peaceful beach community surrounded by beautiful views everywhere we turned. Cherrie was great at welcoming us and even connected us with a local kiwi expert that took us out to see kiwis in the wild, a one of a kind experience we will never forget! Our kids loved playing out on the beach and our youngest loved the toys in the kids room downstairs. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone!

This is beyond a 5 star stay. Steve and Silv's place was modern, with esthetics and modern touches that pleases the eye, even in the smallest places. You are situated in such a secluded, private area, with too tier amenities like a fire pit, hot tub, and pizza oven (They even gave us fresh pizza dough!). We even got to feed their alpacas which is such a crazy experience! The sunrise and sunset views are magical. Steve and silv have an oasis here, with multiple things that you can do right as you step foot out of the property. They even have a wood shop with stunning items. Thank you Steve and Silv, we'll be back soon, I'm sure anyone reading this will say the same after they experience the magic!

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.

This was our second time returning to this magnificent accomodation. Once again I emphasise how important it is for you to not think twice about booking this Airbnb. This place has the stand-out magic that makes any ordinary rentable house into a holiday home for making precious memories. Its simply awe-inspiring upon first entry. The positive attributes of this accomodation from its views, scenery, amenities and hosts are far too many to list. This home exceeds beyond expectation. Thank you once again.

We had the best stay at Linda’s property. The quiet little town of Russel was incredible, and everything was within walking distance from the house. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a fantastic week. Linda is an incredible host, and was able to help us whenever we had questions. We could not recommend this place more!

Very quaint property with loads of character. Easy walking distance to Russell centre. Highly recommend

Shelley & Graham were amazing hosts, incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable of the local area. They made our stay in Paihia feel like home away from home, and the guest suite was more than we could have expected ! We will definitely be staying there next time we are in town !

We hit the jackpot with Michaela and Dans place, a great place to stay for a bit while visiting bay of islands. We loved our stay here. Good location. Amazing appartement and views and great communication all around. Would recommend!

Was a lovely stay with a lovely view! Peter and Jacqueline were great hosts and very responsive 😊

Amazing stay! Such a peaceful location and the bed was more comfortable than my own bed! Would recommend.

Although I was only there one night I enjoyed my stay. it has a lovely view of the sea and the place is clean and comfortable. Laura is a helpful, friendly host. I would happily stay there again.

Really great accomodation, absolutely spotless and one of the best value for money AirBnB’s I’ve stayed in. Lyn is a very responsive host and made a late afternoon booking work.

We stayed at Roy’s Bayview Apartment for two nights during our Bay of Islands trip, and honestly - it was perfect. The property is beautifully kept, spacious and has the kind of views you just can’t stop staring at. Waking up to those views was such a treat. It felt private, quiet, luxurious and incredibly cosy. Roy was a thoughtful and communicative host, providing all the details we needed and going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making the apartment feel welcoming. It was the perfect base for exploring Paihia, Russell and Waitangi, but also ideal for just slowing down and soaking up the calm. We left feeling rested, grateful, and already dreaming about coming back. Highly recommend! Thanks, Shreya.

Location is perfect, walking distance to the beach Great place and easy to find Got more than 2 pillows in each bed room Got AC.. wow…

The most serene beautiful location. Felt like a million miles from anywhere but best brekkie and coffee just steps from the door and a general store a couple of minutes away with everything you could need. Bed to die for, luxury linens and towels. Possibly the cleanest place EVER. thank you gavin, a perfect stay in a beautiful location.

For a winter break it really was perfect. Best spot ever. The best part....The people! Friendly, helpful. Kind. Every eatery was great. Op shop for fishing clothes too! Had great fishing with " Buckos" Dont miss it! Will return. Thankyou. BnM

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

We had a very pleasant stay here in Paihia with stunning water views. It was peaceful to come home to after touring all day. Easy check-in and good communication from the host. Would stay again!
