This apartment was lovely, with a terrace and a fantastic view. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy it as I stayed only for two nights because of an event in Russell. The Owner was very friendly, and I felt very comfortable there.

The greatest asset of Kokomo retreat is its location. Our room's door opened to a stunning view of the bay. The beach was at our doorstep. The room was exceptionally well maintained. We had eveything we needed. The cookie time cookies definitely are a nice touch! There are spa and kayaking facilities on-site.

The longer we stayed here the more we liked it! The location is wonderful - just a very short walk to downtown Russell with shops and restaurants. And what you get in exchange is an incredible view! Bed was the comfiest of our trip - cushy and soft but not saggy at all. Good a/c but nice to have the doors open in the daytime. Lots of good walks and we swam a few times at the beach that was 2 minutes away. Great stay!

Stunting location and friendly people with beautiful track walks and the scenery and views are spectacular. We had dinner at Sage restaurant at Paroa Vineyard which I highly recommend for not the fabulous food but the views are beautiful too and the service was outstanding. The scenery is amazing and so are all the trails a must do and definitely a beautiful place to visitKimberlyNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
Russell is heavenly.
Russell is heavenly. It is so beautiful and we had the best time. What a gem this part of the world has access to! The oysters were amazing. The food/experience and service at the Duke of Marlborough was first rate. The sunsets were surreal. The visit to Urupakapuka by ferry led to an amazing day of exercise and adventure, we had a heavenly swim in one of the islands isolated beaches by ourselves. What a day!🥰CarmelAustralia - 10Scored 10

If you are around Bay of islands I suggest to not stay at Paihai and go to Russell. Smaller, quieter and much nicer. There is a ferry across to Paihai if you want to go there. Long Beach is not to be missed and we enjoyed the Flagstaff walk too.JaneSwitzerland - 10Scored 10

Nice & quiet in the middle of winter.Gets very busy at summertime so booking ahead is essential. Always good food at The Duke restaurant & great front rooms with a balcony with sea views & a view of the street, great for a couple of drinks before heading to the bar!ShaneNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
Russell was so cool.
Russell was so cool. Easy to get around and so lovely in Winter as very few people. The history is interesting and the people were mostly friendly. Next time we will stay 3 nights as we really relaxed and book a trip to Sage restaurant for a special treat.VirginiaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
It is a beautiful location and peaceful.
It is a beautiful location and peaceful. There are enough cafe's / restaurants for 4 or 5 days but plenty more in nearby resorts. The one thing you need to realise about NZ is that "eateries" general cafe's and take aways open early 6 or 7 am but close early too, 3 or 4pm. In general the stop serving an hour before. A lot of restaurants open 12 to 3pm and 5 to 8pm. If you want to eat late you need to check on line for places. Very few apart from Asian places take orders after 9pm. Good supermarket. Lovely sea and beaches around. Public loos are quite prolific in NZ including beaches with changing rooms. The whole country top to bottom is wort a visit. Low traffic levels apart from cities. Lot of mountain roads.

- 8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 348 reviewsHad a great stay here and recommend it. Our room was spacious with a well-equipped kitchen with full fridge, comfy bed, and sofa. Plenty of room to spread out. There is wonderful espresso across the street at “Hell Hole”. The hotel is 1.5 blocks from the waterfront and ferry. It was a pleasant little walk to go for a swim. Lots of restaurants within one block. Recommend Hone’s Garden for incredible pizza. Russell is a delightful place and this hotel was spot on for our stay,JohnstoneYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: £72.198.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 1,473 reviewsThe location of the hotel is perfect and the room was stunning and felt so very "stylish, luxurious and extravagant." It was a real treat. The history of the hotel is also really interesting and is well presented throughout. The restaurant is great with indoor seating and a covered/enclosed verandah which is still lovely even in bad weather, and the food was fabulous. Staff were largely friendly and helpful.MaryLeighSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: £41.397.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 261 reviewsLoved the service! We booked a cabin for two nights. After the first night a class of (rowdy) primary school students arrived and stayed in the rooms on the opposite side of our cabin. We were content to stay there, but got an upgrade to a bigger (private) cabin, without having asked. The town of Russell is a 5 minute drive and from there the ferry to Paihia in 15 minutes. Both a must see!
