Paroa Perfection!
This was the best place we stayed while in New Zealand for a month. The home, grounds and views are absolutely stunning, and we enjoyed every moment we were there. We loved listening to the birds, relaxing in the spa, and cooking on the BBQ. We had a lovely dinner at the winery next door, we recommend the "trust the chef" menu. After arriving, we learned it is so easy to take a ferry over to the treaty grounds and Paihia, and also boat tours pick up in Russell. We certainly hope to come back someday - thank you, Jeff, for making the whole experience so easy and lovely.

Absolutely stunning, designer property
This is absolutely a home we'll plan to return to -- beautifully designed, bright, and meticulously clean and well-maintained. Our kids loved the lawns and the pool/spa. We were in the area to attend a local wedding, and thus weren't planning to sit around the house much, but the Paroa Retreat was so wonderful that we ended up spending many happy hours relaxing and enjoying the view.

Excellent Stay in Russell!
Stayed at Jeff's place for a family Christmas trip, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. This was the first time we'd seen our daughter in two years because of COVID (we live in Canada) and we wanted something special. Jeff's place fit the bill perfectly. It's an amazing property in an amazing location with an amazing host. Jeff was easy to communicate with, and he and his wife even went to the trouble to buy and decorate a Christmas tree for us. We drove up from Auckland very early in the morning, and Jeff was kind enough to let us check in early. The place is gorgeous and has absolutely everything you could want. Kitchen facilities are first rate and has everything you need. All five of us love to cook and we made all of our meals while there for 10, save one, and there was nothing we couldn't find. My pet peeve is full knives, so I travel with a knife sharpener. Not only were the knives sharp, there was a sharpener in the drawer! My wife even found a pastry brush when she made croissants! The rest of the property is great too. Many days we just hung around the pool, and evenings were spent playing games in the large living room. We loved the place, and I can't recommend it highly enough!
