Stayed Oct 24, 2025The place seemed relatively clean if not smelling a little shut up for a while. Was excited about the spa pool but was let down by the tepid temperature. The owner responded really quickly and maybe too familiarly when we reported the lift being faulty, he just let himself into the house. I know it is his house but we had paid for the privilege.

Stayed Sep 26, 2025For what we paid we thought it was fair. Beds upstairs were great. Only real issue was the musty smell, especially down stairs. It was pretty bad really.

Stayed Feb 2, 2025The place was great and very spacious. Ideal for an adult family group like we had. It is quite a steep access to Russell township but handy to everything.We were staying the week to attend Waitangi activities and it was very handy to the ferry.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Stayed Nov 22, 2024There is heaps of space to hang out with the family, upstairs and down below via the lift. The hot tub was delightful too. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Stayed Nov 14, 2024The downstairs rooms were very damp and smelt musty. The shower wall was bulging due to the wet bank behind the shower. Mould on the ceiling in the downstairs lounge. We requested a dehumidifier but was told there isnt one. We had a 3 month old baby and found it very stressful to have a newborn in such a damp house. Im sure over summer its dry. The access drive was very steep. There was an overgrown path with a broken handrail to the front door. This path had no lighting.
