"We loved our stay here! It was so lovely waking up surrounded by birds and trees, with a gorgeous view of the water. We enjoyed the walk to town via tracks off the property exploring the surrounding hills.Russel was a great town to stay in for a few days. Access to surrounding areas was easy and Long Beach was great day in the sun.The cabin is well equipped with everything we could have needed! We made a meal at home one night but also loved exploring the local bars and restaurants. Would...

"Fantastic cottage with everything we needed, including some games and story books for the kids. Room to kick a ball around, chickens to visit and dogs to play fetch with. Happy memories. We look forward to coming back again one day."

"Enjoyed our stay. Close to town but with a feeling of space on the edge of the estuary, lovely water views, with lots of trees around. Bach was spacious and well equipped."

"One of the best locations in Paihia, close to everything. Beautiful swimming pool.Difficulty accessing the basement garage due to keypad not working so had to get manager to open manually.Property great for two couples but needs a refresh and a bit of TLC. Shower gel ran out on day 1 in ensuite so hadnt been refilled from last persons stay and coffee was a solid lump in the cannister (not airtight). Tiny milk carton provided on arrival, suitable for 1 person. I have never had to pay for internet...

"The house is in a quiet residential area outside the city center with a lovely view. The italian contingent of our group found the host to be very helpful and very responsive. We appreciated her assistance in recovering a lost item; she definitely went above and beyond the expectations of our Italian friends who will remain very grateful."

"I can’t fault the house. It was very clean and tidy. The kitchen facilities were all there and in working order. Great to have access to Netflix. Here was the issue. First is the very steep and dark drive way. I like property with easy access. This was not easy access. Once you got to the top of the drive you have to do a 3 point turn to be able to leave. This was not fun on a slope. The second issue is that the house is a shared property. This means there is a rental under the house. And they...

"The house is well maintained and has a beautiful view. The property manager was "all business" - but was responsive when help was requested. Only one bedroom was made available - the other bedrooms were locked. (I some times am restless and might have made use of the second bedroom - though in all fairness I didn't raise the issue.)"

"Spent a week in February, just the two of us, but house would be ideal for two groups as one end has double bedroom little lounge, looking out to beach, and 3 bedrooms, one double with ensuite, are at other end beyond main lounge. The adjacent motor camp was super quiet and has coffees and takeaways. Area absolutely gorgeous for swimming and boating activities "

"Our young family had a wonderful time. Nice views and a well setup cosy home. Cluedo was a hit. Couple snapper for dinner fishing off the beach, good times all round. "

"Great stay - property was clean and tidy and great location. Very lucky with some great weather. Thanks"

"My wife and I honeymooned in New Zealand 30 years ago and decided to return to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The Dufresne Villa was well situated with outstanding views. The accomodations were excellent, with easy access to Russell, and Pahia via the ferry. We loved our stay and strongly recommend it, especially for those in love like us. "

"I had a wonderful stay at the farm. The bus had all the comfort you need. The area was so peaceful and idyllic. Perfect location if you arrive at kerikeri airport. The host was super friendly. Highly recommend! "
