The view was stunning! The hosts were very warm and friendly….a perfect hideaway very close to Russell! We loved the drive into Russell and the views of all the Bays and proximité to car ferry at Opua.

Well thought out. A lot of care has gone into this and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. They've obviously read the comments, as the unit does have air conditioning (which was fabulous on a hot night) and yes the carpark is pokey -...

View is perfect. Very comfortable for 2 people and ideally located between Russell and the car ferry.

This room has an amazing view and has only strengthened my desire to one day own an outdoor cabin. The owner was very helpful and attentive to our needs. I wish we could've stayed a little longer.

The most gorgeous views ever, everything was spotlessly clean, the location was perfect - very private but just 5 minutes in the car to Russell. The hosts, Kevin and John, were so very welcoming- fabulous guys that made us feel right at home.

Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. This recently established little 15 sq m cabin plus adjoining bathroom and private deck area (15 sq m ) has magnificent views down to Tore Tore Island and across the bay to Paihia and Waitangi, perfect for that short getaway. Close the oversized solid timber black gate for complete privacy to the cabin and deck. Enjoy a drink and cook a snack on the barbecue under the covered deck area. A beautiful spot to enjoy a weekend or a midweek getaway! THE SPACE The cabin is nearby but completely separate and private from the main house The Tawnys which is also a 3 bedroom accommodation. Once the outside door is closed guests have a completely secure and private bedroom, bathroom and covered deck area with built in BBQ and water supply along with the great water views over to Paihia and Waitangi, also the passing parade of boats and yachts of all descriptions. The cabin contains all you could need for your stay including fridge microwave and 40 inch TV. also, plates utensils, glasses and all bedding.
Boat ramp at the bottom of the street. Nature and beach walks so close and walk to and explore Tore Tore Island at low tide. 8 minute drive to Russell on sealed roads and less than 5 minutes to the car ferry.
