    The Gables - Stunning Waterfront Apartment

    The luxuriously appointed apartment is 2 storied, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There are views of the bay to Waitangi and Paihia. Glorious sunsets, yachting, fishing and boat activity, plunging gannets and the occasional dolphin are just a few reasons to enjoy the historic township of Russell.

    The large loft master bedroom enjoys beautiful views from the kingsize bed and the second bedroom features an original brick chimney feature with a Super King bed that can be converted to two singles upon request.

The Gables Restaurant is No 1 on Trip Advisor for Northland and provides superb dining at your doorstep!

    Spacious Stay
    This accommodation speaks cleanliness and space! It is well located to easily access the amenities of Russell. The restaurant/pub below is non-intrusive. The patio doors and balcony enable fresh air and entertainment while watching the activities taking place below it. The ratu tree directly outside the patio doors limits the view across the bay but at the same time adds beauty to this artistically inspired space.

    Perfect Property
    A delightful and spacious property in a perfect location yards from the sea. The bustle of Russell transformed to perfect tranquility around 22:00 leaving only the sound of the waves lapping on the beach outside. The property was well equipped with everything we needed for a restful break.

    Great property in the centre of town. Loved the out look and loads of lovely restaurants a stones thrown away. Only slight negative for us was music from downsairs restaurant played from 11am to closing which I guess when staying in town is to be expected. Beautiful property 👌 Thank u

    Idyllic & Charming
    A fantastic property right in the heart of historic Russell. We felt instantly at home … relaxing, stylish, warm & comfortable. Well equipped kitchen & spacious enough for two couples to enjoy. We dined at The Gables Restaurant (right underneath the apartment) & Hones Garden (right behind the property). Hardly any need for a car as everything is a walk away. Thoroughly enjoyed … thank you!
