Such a lovely get away for our family. We spent four nights here and especially enjoyed the comfy beds, fantastic shower, large spaces and beautiful scenery. The easiest way to get here is back and forth by ferry. All of the toys like darts, trampoline, ping pong and basketball were fun to have for the kids. The weather was cold so we didn't use the kayaks but wish we could have. Kathy and Rob are friendly and helpful. This house is big enough for two small families. Russell is a cute town with shops, restaurants and groceries. To visit the sites in Bay of Islands you pretty much have to take the ferry, so add an extra $25 round trip daily to get the car across. We didn't mind paying that. It was a lovely vacation! Thanks!
