Teaghlach: Tapeka \/ Russell Holiday Home
About this house rental
Take a 2 minute Stroll from this spacious holiday home to beautiful Tapeka Beach for swimming, kayaking (kayaks provided), sun or a spot of fishing. Enjoy the sea views from the large decks, the living areas or from the master bedroom. Bush and beach walks are there for those who feel energetic. Walk the bush walks at night and you might see the kiwi (please observe only and respect them). Kiwi calls are heard most nights. Cafe and restaurants are close by in beautiful historic Russell or via a quick ferry ride to Paiha. This is your gateway to the magnificent Bay of Islands or to venturing further afield to tourist attractions in Northland. This house has close access to two beaches. The first is a safe sandy beach with pontoon (in summer). The second is a rocky beach with rock pools. Good for snorkeling and exploring. Take Bob’s walk through the bush or walk up the hill toward Russell. Walk to the end of Titore Way and you will be able to walk through the bush to Russell. A must for us and our grandchildren. We make this a daily event. The reward is coffee or icecreams on the waterfront in Russell. Or to get your daily exercise walk up the hill to Tapeka Pt, the old Maori Pa site, and enjoy the panoramic views of the bay. These are just some of the options to fill your days. You will find you do not have enough hours in the day to do everything. Special conditions: •No parties and no additional guests staying beyond those booked. •No smoking inside. •No tents or additional overnight guests without prior permission Extras: Linen (preferred to bring your own. Optional linen may be available for overseas guests, NZ$30.00 per person); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

We were an extended family of three siblings and their families, plus our parents, so 15 altogether. There was plenty of space, and even when it was raining, the covered deck allowed us to get outside. Such a great location, with so much to do in the surrounding areas. Everything we needed - thank you!!

We took three generations of our family to this lovely bach. It's perfectly kitted out for families, including those with very young ones, and has everything one would want for a trip to Russell.

We stayed here over the Christmas holidays as a group of 7. The house is spacious and well designed with levels that gave everyone a bit of privacy while still feeling connected. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen was the hub of activity. The generous dining table was perfect for big meals and game nights! More than a few naps happened out of the deck while people read books and enjoyed the ocean breeze. We hiked the local peak, played on the beaches just a minute away, and had a wonderful time exploring the rocks and coves. Russell is very convenient too, with lovely cafes and shops. Bev was a very connected host and made sure we had everything needed as we were travelling from Canada. I highly recommend the home for a stay in the area - and be sure to enjoy it for a few days!

This property was a wonderful opportunity for our whanau of ten, ranging in age from 83 to 1 1/2! The master bedroom upstairs sported beautiful views and was handy to the living areas and bathroom/toilet. The four bedrooms downstairs each had a double bed and a set of bunks, and one room had a couch that could turn into another bed too. There was a toilet and bathroom/laundry downstairs. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cooking utensils etc and there were views to die for all the time. There are two very different beaches within a couple of minutes walk. We are so thankful for the time together and in this clearly loved family bach.

We have had a fantastic few days at this amazing property.
The rooms were lovely, large, and perfectly configured for large groups and multiple families.
The king single bunk beds were great for the older kids and so comfy, as were the main beds.
The living area was spacious, clean and felt very inviting and comfortable.
The check in process was easy and communication from the owners was brilliant and friendly.
A great position to explore Russell and the Bay of Islands.
We would definitely recommend and we would stay again if we're ever lucky enough to come back to New Zealand.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely holiday home. The proximity to beaches and bush walks, and the township of Russell for good coffee at "Hell Hole", made our stay one to remember. The ability to launch the boat easily from the boat ramp plus being able to bring the doggie family members was the icing on the cake. Thank you again.

The house and location are beautiful. Initially on arrival there was bit of damp smell but all it needed was some airing. Couldn’t get in touch with the owners at the end to confirm the water pump switch, again to be fair it was midweek during office hours. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

Amazing
What a way to start a long weekend, getting to the bach and you overlook the ocean. The beach down the bottom was absolutely stunning. Could not have asked for better.

The hosts left us a lovely welcome note and box of chocolates. The house was close enough to walk to the beach with the kayaks, the house was really a great size for our family, with a lovely cozy inside and a great deck with comfy lounge furniture outside. Will go back there for sure!

Great place
What a great place we just visited! It is a big house with more than enough room for 12 of us. There are plenty of activities inside like kayaks, sup etc... Also, it is very close to the beach and boat ramp. All three families with us enjoyed the place and keen to come back.

Just too wonderful for words!
We’re not strangers to this area but this property provided an amazing retreat for a family get-away. Our hosts were amazing and as always, the Bay of Islands didn’t fail to disappoint.

LOVED IT!
This family spot is gold! We had family travel from in Wellington, Aussie, Canada and we all meet at this amazing place and home. Everything we needed was accessible and available to us. Very spacious home for large families to enjoy and close to the main Russell district for convenience of stores, restaurants and options for tours and sights seeing. This was a trip of a lifetime for all of us to be in one space together from all over... this was definitely the best place for us to make the lasting memories... truly an amazing location! Thank you for creating this space for all to enjoy.

Fantastic house and location!
This house was perfect for our large family group, with most of the bedrooms downstairs for small children sleeping and living upstairs. Every bedroom was big and with plenty of bed options. We loved the big deck for relaxing and entertaining and the short walk to gorgeous beaches.
