A beautiful escape perched over a lovely township
A lovely villa, with a straightforward checkin process, but it was difficult not having a local manager on hand when things went wrong - in this case, Cyclone Gabrielle! However, the grounds keepers, Trish & Brent, were fantastic and went above & beyond their responsibilities to compensate.

Bay of Islands Views and Comfort
My husband and I finished our month-long trip to New Zealand at Villa 2 Te Maiki and couldn't have asked for anything better. It was - hands down- the best lodging we had on the whole trip. (We had camper-vanned, hoteled, apartment & cabin rented, and Hut-to-Hutted on the Routeburn Trail). The Villa 2 Te Maiki houses are all situated for excellent views, yet are still close enough to town to walk in (10-15 minutes depending on your pace; we are in our late 50s). The 4 Square market in town is very good so after lots of restaurant meals we were thrilled to cook for ourselves at "home". The kitchen in the house was very well set-up and our dinners on the deck watching sunset were some of the best we had that month. The caretaker and housekeeper that were on site each day were helpful and great to chat with. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom was good, and we were surprised and happy to find a puzzle (there are a few games too!) in the house to do. Excellent stay, and if NZ wasn't a 14 hour flight from our home we would probably come back every year just to stay at Villa 2 Te Maiki!

Lovely place
Comfy and exceptionally well stocked with things you need in a house. 3 sided deck with good shade meant eating outside was a joy. The upstairs mezzanine room gets very hot but we used it as a drying area. Close to Russell but steep hill so we always drove in. No wifi but we managed with mobile data. The washing machine was really helpful halfway through our month in NZ. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Good location
We spent Christmas Day here and enjoyed ourselves. Kitchen had everything we needed, enjoyed our dinner on the deck, played some of the board games, and it’s a great location. Bit of a steep walk but lots of holiday makers making the trek on foot, and it was welcomed after so much food!

We enjoyed staying in Villa 2 - clean but quite dusty especially on bedheads,no body soap or tea tow
It was a great location - would definitely come again. I think there should be more wardrobe space available in single bedroom and not full of other stuff. We loved the deck surrounding the villa and the bbq would be great if we had not been booked to go out each night. I hope this has been helpful. Thanks.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay at Te Maiki - lovely location and nice and quiet. The villa was well equipped and spacious, with extensive decking outside to relax outdoors. There were only a few downsides: the cleanliness of cutlery and dishes was substandard (we washed everything before using it), the shower hadn't been cleaned, there is no wifi, and there were no instructions on how to use the TV. The lockbox was also tricky to get into. None of that would stop us staying there again though.

Short break.
Just a bit disappointed, the view is not as good as picture, we have stayed in a different villa and that does have this view, the outside decks are pretty run down, the house had an unpleasant smell on arrival, otherwise good, nice bedding and furniture, and a very handy spot to the village.

Why they chose this property

Russell is steeped in the history of New Zealand and is ideally placed to use as a base for extended touring. Villa 2 offers you the opportunity to absorb the surrounding atmosphere, kickback after a driving tour or local cruise. The entire privately owned complex has its own security personal and the grounds are maintained by gardeners. We have never regretted investing in the area and still find places to explore.

What makes this property unique

Lovely comfortable home with everything you need. It becomes your home away from home whilst there.
