This was our first AirBnB experience and it was certainly a good one. The little apartment is charming and comfortable. Robin and Rick were interesting and helpful hosts and we had a lovely day out on their yacht Phantom sailing around the Bay of Islands. Their place is up the hill from Russell and is peaceful and quiet. Russell is a lovely little place to roam around and explore. Be sure to try Diggers restaurant in the RSA for very reasonably priced delicious food. Definitely recommended.
