Bay of Islands Gem

Lovely place to stay, amazing views and well appointed accommodations. Sunsets and sunrises from this unit! Short steep walk if you don't have a car, but easy enough for us to go for a lovely run to Long Beach on the other side of the peninsula.

Magical stay in the Bay of Islands

We loved our stay at Te Maiki. It was the perfect distance to the town of Russell which made it easy for trips and walking. The space was great, opening up all the doors and looking at the ocean was perfect. The kitchen has everything you need. Trish was so helpful and lovely to communicate with. Thanks so much :) would return!

Paradise!

I had a friend visiting from the states who wanted to see more of New Zealand and to visit my daughter and her husband who are living in Whangarei. We decided to meet in Russell. Te Maiki Villa 3 suited us perfectly. We loved having three bedrooms, the kitchen was well equipped, the view was spectacular, it was close enough to town to walk and we appreciated the history of the property. We will come and are confident in recommending it to you and our friends/family that want to visit Russell.

Great location with beautiful views.

Everything was excellent. Maybe look at changing locks on exterior doors as they were difficult to open and close. Also interior door to bedrooms needed shaving so as it could be opened and closed. Will recommend to friends.

Te Maiki villas

Perfect location with wonderful views and walking distance to the Russell village. Wonderful bird life and doors opening out onto Bush and views. The property had everything we needed however BBQ was not clean so we did not use and there was an offensive odour which appeared from the somewhat new carpet. The manager was available and helpful.

Beautiful house No WiFi

The house was lovely and Trish was great to deal with. A big downside was no WiFi. Because of the situation all four of us were scrambling to change flights and had to go into Russell to get WiFi. I would like a refund of 100 us. Dollars because of this. It should be disclosed there is no WiFi in the listing as in this day and age it is expected.
