"Such a beautiful property- we especially loved our gourmet breakfast on the balcony overlooking the bay and being able to easily walk into town. Peter and Greg were very accommodating hosts - we so enjoyed our time in Russell. "

"The room was clean, we were upgraded to a superior room, as we were staying 5 nights and they are the rooms that have a microwave. There was no tea towel, no forks, no washing up detergent or anything like that, very basic.
The pool wasn't in operation, it was empty, for all the tine we were there, no mention of that when we checked it.
It's just a basic motel, not a resort.
Plus the large rubbish skip bin is in the driveway on the way to the units, it smelt putrid as you walked passed...

Lorraine and Peter went out of their way to make our stay unbelievable. Always concerned for our comfort and well-being. They have an extraordinary knowledge of the local area and were always there to assist us in planning daily events. The room was outstanding and the view spectacular.

We loved our stay at the anchorage! The facilities were great and staff very friendly. With a beach view and only 5 minutes walk into town it was the perfect location!

Loved the Motel and our room. The incredible panoramic view from both rooms was wonderful. Great little self contained kitchenette which we loved. Sky Satelite TV a big bonus. Easy & safe car parking. Across the road from the Ferry wharfs and main shops area very close.

The staff were very obliging, moving us to a groundfloor room when they realised I had a dodgy knee. Pauline and the staff in the restaurant and bar were knowledgable about tourist things to do and when my husband brought fish back from a fishing trip, the Chef cooked it to perfection. Excellent Wifi connectionenabled me to stay in touch with the family back in Australia. I would stay there again if I am fortunate enough to return to Paihia. I loved the extra touch of a gift bag encouraging us...

Very unique camp site where you can see native birds wandering around, including kiwis, wekas and pūkekos. Not to say a parrot like beautiful bird and characteristic resident chickens. To a nature lover, this would be paradise. We enjoyed our stay thanks to very friendly host Kelly.

The apartment was very clean, and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool table. Location was great, and the space was perfect. The kitchen was great too.

The best area to stay in Tuparehuia is generally around the main village itself, particularly along the waterfront or slightly elevated areas offering views of the bay.
The main village of Tuparehuia is concentrated along the coastline, with a series of small bays and beaches. The primary road, State Highway 10, runs through the area, connecting various accommodations and local businesses. You'll find a mix of holiday homes, boutique lodges, and a few small eateries. The general layout is relaxed and spread out, with properties often enjoying direct beach access or elevated positions overlooking the water.
Couples looking for a tranquil and scenic retreat will find the properties directly overlooking the Bay of Islands particularly appealing. Many accommodations in these spots offer private decks or patios where you can enjoy the coastal views and the peaceful atmosphere. Proximity to walking tracks and opportunities for kayaking or paddleboarding directly from your accommodation are common features.
Families often appreciate staying near the more accessible beaches within the main village area. These spots provide easy access for children to play in the sand and swim in the calm waters. You'll find properties with more space, often including self-catering facilities, which are convenient for family meals.
