Teaghlach: Tapeka / Russell Holiday Home

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.

•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;

Amazing holiday
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!!

Excellent stay - will come back!
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.

An excellent home base for the holidays!
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!

Great intergenerational retreat
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.
