We absolutely loved Stella the Excella. What a beautiful spot & only a short walk in to Russell. The space is stunning - retro chic, spacious & comfortable with absolutely everything you could need for a few days away. Gorgeous bathroom & wonderfully well kitted out outdoor kitchen. Enjoy the spacious deck with a view & a wine & then sit in the spa & watch the stars. Add to that wonderful hosts & you’ve got the perfect get away up in the stunning Bay of Islands, most definitely hoping for a return trip 😊
