"We stayed 6 nights at this wonderful accommodation. Throughly enjoyed our stay as well as all that the far North has to offer. The hosts were so hospitable and engaging. They certainly made us feel at home and nothing was too much for them. The view of the harbour from our hilltop room was spectacular and the surrounding native bush was the perfect get away. Along with stunning views we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and delightful company each morning. Highly recommend a stay at Allegra House. "
"Polite and helpful staff. The room was spacious and the bed was amazing. The buffet breakfast was not available however the a la carte breakfast was excellent. We also had dinner at the hotel's restaurant and thoroughly loved it."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!"
