Self contained studio room with private entrance and stunning sea views

Very nice location, excellent views and everything we needed.

Beautiful view

Fantastic studio - loved our stay. Really close to centre of Russell for great restaurants, cafes and shops (very steep, though short driveway).

We stayed for four days and absolutely loved our time here. The location is beautiful with stunning views, and the place felt so welcoming and well set up. Having coffee on the deck each morning was a real highlight. We’d love to stay again.

Comments; Electronic blinds didn't work.Followed simple instructions, even you tubed...no joy. Rubbish bins not marked at all, ie; Recycling etc. Difficult to store and access large suitcases in bedroom. No shampoo/conditioner/ body lotion provided. Tend to expect these toiletries in top end facilities. Small bedroom space to sit in if weather is inclement and deck seating is unsuitable.

Enjoyed our stay here, so close to everything in town, our rental car was hardly used. Nicely presented property, fantastic views. Highly recommended.

a great accommodation, slightly elevated for the fantastic view

Loved our three night stay. The unit was extremely well appointed making the most of the fabulous views across the bay. The compromise for those views was the steep driveway but we just took the car down the street and parked up when we went out. Everywhere in Russell is easy walking distance from the property including the ferry, and a number of excellent eateries. Would definitely consider stayin again should we return to Russell.

Great and relaxing stay!

This is a wonderful apartment as a base in bay of islands. Russell is a great little town and this apartment is central but with a great view over the town and the sea. If you want to enjoy a sunrise you can lie in bed with the blinds up and it is fantastic. Highly recommend this as a place to stay

Clean modern attractions with a beautiful view over Russell. Also an easy short walk to the village.

Location and view were fantastic!! Covered deck for sitting out enjoying the view even in the rain. Sunset was gorgeous.

A most amazing place. Highly recommended

Great location. Easy access to downtown Russel. Fantastic view of the town and water from the accommodation.

A female, travelling alone, and this was a safe & wonderful studio accommodation! It was clean, comfortable & cozy, and conveniently close to the beach, local hikes, and all amenities in Russell. I was able to walk to most things, so having a safe spot to park my rental car was appreciated. I like to cook for myself much of the time when I travel (dietary concerns), and the tools and equipment for using the BBQ were available. That, along with fridge, toaster, mic & tea kettle, covered all the cooking requirements for my stay. I particularly enjoyed my morning tea on the deck, while watching the boats coming & going in the bay. What an outstanding view! Thank you so much!

Lovely spot

Perfect location, amazing views. The studio had everything we needed and was an ideal base to explore the Bay of Islands area. The centre of Russel was very easy to walk to and has a good selection of places to eat and drink. Would happily have stayed for longer . Thankyou

Everything was perfect and extremely clean. It is only a couple of minutes walk into Russell town but at night it is very quiet. And the view is just breathtaking

The apartment was clean and had a fantastic view of the bay. About a five minute walk to the wharf and main street, keep in mind the drive way is quite steep. Super easy to catch a water taxi or get to meet up spot for tours. The hosts were very kind and accommodating to a last minute schedule change. Would absolutely stay again!

Property is perfectly equipped for a couple’s stay. Bed v.comfortable; views from property across the bay are stunning. Perfect base to explore Russell and surroundings. We loved our stay thank you.

We loved this gorgeous little unit, it was beautifully appointed with everything we needed, and of course phenomenal views! Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and very generous in allowing our kids to pitch a tent on the front lawn. All in all a very memorable stay and we will be back.

Once I saw this listing I knew it would be perfect for my wife and I to relax after spending NYE in Auckland. The town of Russell is full of relaxation and vibrancy all packed into one place. If exploring the beaches, the many restaurants or taking the ferry over to Paihia everything is right at hand. The view from the unit was spectacular and the bed was very comfortable and clean. I am looking forward to staying again on my next New Zealand Adventure.

Steve and Yolanda have created a beautiful property in Russell, and the studio was perfect for us. It was just as I expected from the description, plus a couple of questions early on. Excellent communication from Yolanda. Our time was up all too soon and we will certainly return! Thank you Steve and Yolanda.

The view of the bay and the town was spectacular. It was a short walk to restaurants and shopping and the water. The town of Russell was something out of a Hallmark movie. We loved the town and the stay was the best 3 days of our trip to New Zealand. I was concerned that the studio was attached to a home but we had privacy and didn't hear anything from the larger house. The room has everything you need in an accommodation (except shampoo) but really everything else.

We had a wonderful stay at Kereru Cottage. Everything we could want and need. Beautiful and peaceful, garden stunning and hosts very welcoming. Thank you
