We booked A Noble View for 5 nights and within minutes of seeing the space, location and view, requested to extend our stay. Marion and Colin are exceptional hosts. The house is open plan and airy, with huge windows and the view of Russell harbor just can not be beat. The deck can be used all day as it's on two sides of the house. You are a 5 minute walk from town and 15 minutes walk to Flagstaff Hill - one of the most stunning views you will experience in New Zealand (and that's saying something!). The Four Square in town has everything you could need, including a great selection of meats, to make great meals using the well-stocked kitchen as well as the big bbq. There's no doubt our stay at A Noble View will vie for top place for our 3 month trip to the North Island!
