Our stay at the Plum Tree apartment exceeded our expectations. It was cozy, clean and comfortable. We loved to come back to the place after a day of hiking or exploring and sit out on the deck listening to the birds, smelling the flowers and enjoying a glass of wine. It was so relaxing after being in the noisy city. Rick and Robin were great hosts. We had a great day sailing with them on their sailboat Phanton and would recommend seeing the Bay of Islands that way. The town of Russell is really quaint and with a lot of history.
