Very comfortable cottage with great view. Well appointed and well presented. A short drive into Russell, with many local restaurants.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage on the olive grove! Awesome cottage and absolutely gorgeous view from the deck. The beach is only 5 minutes away too. Wish we could have stayed longer :)

My husband and I have 3 young children and are lucky enough to call the Bay of Islands our home. I firmly believe when travelling that you truly get to know and appreciate a place so much more when you can stay and experience life like a local. I take care of several properties in the area and get great enjoyment from meeting new people from all over the world and sharing in their experiences of our beautiful area. As a family we love to get outside as much as possible. Whether its pottering around home in our garden, heading out to the beach or getting out on the water for some fishing.

Stargazing On The Deck

On a clear night in Russell, the starry sky and milky way are spectacular. We spent our evenings laying on the deck admiring the sky and counting shooting stars.
