Our cottage was gorgeous with a deck out front overlooking a gorgeous tree filled garden with birdsong from dawn to dusk, and a view of the bay. We can't wait to get back and stay again.

    Great location right on Russell waterfront. There are picnic tables reserved for Lodge residents just above the beach with a fabulous view. We enjoyed eating a picnic dinner out there one evening. Simply fabulous. While there is a pool we didn't use it as the Lodge is only a few steps away from the beach and preferred to swim in the sea. We did warm up in the spa pool after one swim which was very nice. Well appointed kitchen to do breakfast, lunch and simple dinners. The hostess was very helpful with all our requests.

    The cottage is very cozy, with fragrant flowers at bedside, and birds chirping outside the veranda. Stephen next door always greeted us with nice suggestions for local sightseeing. He even gave us a bottle of home made honey to enjoy. We like the serenity of this coastal hideout.

    A boutique lodge located a very short walk into the idyllic town of Russell in the Bay Of Islands. Greg and Peter are the best hosts. Before we arrived they recommended some superb places to eat. The breakfasts are to die for, beautifully presented and making use of ingredients from the garden Peter beats any chef I have encountered. The rooms are tastefully kitted out with everything you could possibly want and have views overlooking the bay. Couldn’t fault it, the most perfect three night stay!
