John was a friendly and helpful host. The view over Russell was magic, and we enjoyed swimming at the nearby beaches. Hangi and concert at the Treaty grounds were excellent, as was a day sailing the islands..

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Stella the Excella is set in Russell. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The campground has a hot tub and bicycle parking.

Stella the Excella is a fabulous base in Russell. We loved the quirkiness of the trailer and all the retro facilities and colours - you really feel you're back in the 50s. The bed was very comfortable and the separate bathroom was more than adequate. The outside decking was spacious and a great place to sit back and relax and if you're lucky (as we were) spot kiwi in the garden below. The centre of Russell is about a 15/20 minute walk away though we were lazy and took the car as the trailer is situated at the top of a steep hill. We spent five weeks in NZ and Stella was definitely in the Top 3 of the places we stayed.

    The cottage we stayed in was perfect for our group of four adults and would suit a family as well. We loved the sunset the view each evening. Having plenty of trees(with the accompanying bird song) was a bonus. Being a 5 minute walk from the village and wharf meant we did t use our vehicle often and we were close to lovely beaches.

    We loved our 5-night stay at Te Minaaki Villa. It was ideally located for us to explore the BOI area, enjoy walks to Long Beach and Russell town centre as well as soak up the beautiful views over the bay from our deck. The comfortable sized studio Villa offered all we needed for self catering including a useful BBQ. Thanks again Donna for for all your recommendations and top hospitality.

    The location is absolutely beautiful! We had a view of the bay and we could even watch all the new years fireworks that was happening in Paihia from our deck!! I liked that the villa was spacious and there was separate eating, sitting and sleeping areas, not everything cramped into one tiny space,
