10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Exceptional Stay in Beautiful Bay of Islands! We recently spent four nights at this stunning property in Russell, New Zealand, and everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The facilities were top-notch: clean, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Whether we were relaxing in our villa, enjoying the scenic surroundings, or taking advantage of the amenities, everything was impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed. What really stood out was the staff—they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, they made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and explore the beauty of New Zealand North Island. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!

Staff were so nice- especially Anna! All staff were so accommodating and helped us with whatever we needed. Beautiful place to stay at. Personally wouldn’t recommend over 3 or 4 nights in colder weather as it does get a little hard to figure out plans.

Immerse yourself in culture on a Auckland vacation

Auckland is one of the most culturally rich destinations in all of New Zealand. You'll find a multicultural hub of various people working together, offering diverse cuisine and art you can enjoy. Musical performances are quite common here in public spaces like parks and markets rather than just restricted to concert venues, though there are plenty of staged live performances as well.

Taste the wonder of Wellington vacation packages

Wellington is a popular city in New Zealand best known for its culinary prowess. Restaurants here are world-class, offering next-level flavor and presentation you won't want to miss out on. However, it's not all extravagant fine dining, as you'll also find more modest tucked-away eateries and bars. The coffee is also quite notable, so you can always start your day with something tasty here.
