Modern fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar or BBQ on the Weber. Nespresso machine and fast fibre WiFi. The large separate bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and smart TV.

Russell township, boat trips, restaurants and beaches are only 6 minutes away with Omata Estate winery around the corner. Passenger over to Opua on the car ferry to the local yacht clubs and cafe or drive into Paihia. There is also a coastal walk into Russell or from Opua to Paihia, one of many in the area.

Modern amenities. Listing is what is said it is. Suggest cooking oil for the kitchen. Enjoyed our stay. Especially a relaxing drink by the fire after dinner.

Thanks for staying Matt. We have added cooking oil at your suggestion. We did not expect guests to cook often but it must be appealing to stay put, relax and enjoy the view
