"Reception normally shuts at 7:30PM and I missed the fine print when making my booking. They were kind enough to make themselves available for me to check in at roughly 9PM as my flight didn’t land until 8:30PM. This was a great relief as I was attending a funeral the following day."

"We arrived late at night and called ahead as checkin is only to 8pm. They left us easy instructions to get our room key. Our room was a lot bigger than we anticipated and very clean. We were impressed with the quality and easy checkout the next morning. Tutukaka, the town itself, is very sleepy and it was a bit tough to find an early breakfast, but very beautiful and serene."

The Duke of Marlborough Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Staying at the Duke is an amazing experience. One of New Zealand’s oldest pubs on the beachfront in one of New Zealand’s oldest town. Well maintained and spotless rooms, ours had a great balcony - just the place for a G&T - before a leisurely dinner on the terrace looking out directly over the bay - with an excellent food and wine menu. Helpful, knowledgeable staff and great transport options add to the experience - free parking behind the pub or frequent passengers ferry services across the bay from Paihia. And all pretty affordable given the venue and the location."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Russell Forest?
The best area to stay in Russell Forest is the town of Russell itself, particularly the waterfront area along The Strand.Russell is a small, historic town that was once New Zealand's first capital. The Strand, which runs along the foreshore, is the heart of the town, lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. It's a very walkable area with easy access to the wharf, where many boat tours depart.Couples looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway will find Russell ideal. You can enjoy strolls along the waterfront, dine at restaurants with harbour views, and explore historic sites like Christ Church, New Zealand's oldest church. Many accommodations in this area offer stunning views of the Bay of Islands.For those wanting a bit more seclusion while still being close to the town's amenities, properties slightly further back from The Strand, perhaps up the hills overlooking the bay, offer a peaceful retreat.
When is the best time to go to Russell Forest?
The best time to visit Russell Forest is during the warmer, drier months, typically from October to April.This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the forest's walking tracks and enjoying outdoor activities. You'll find the trails are generally in better condition, and the risk of heavy rainfall is lower, which is ideal for hiking and wildlife spotting. The temperatures are comfortable, making it great for spending time outdoors.For those planning to combine their forest visit with coastal activities, these months also align with the best beach weather in the wider Northland region.
