Family getaway
Such a great spot for a family with kids. We could start the day and end the day in the bay and head off to the east coast beaches in between. Lovely location.

Wairoro Park is a lovely setting amongst the bush.
Wairoro Park is a lovely setting amongst the bush. Only a short distance from the Russell Car Ferry. We heard Kiwi and many other birds. The house was warm and comfortable with good amenities. Beds comfortable. Only downside was the lack of internet. Did manage some access for important things with mobile hotspot, phone coverage was good. Short drive into Russell. Just a note that the car ferry is $12.50 each way so an extra expense, but much better than the long way around and dirt road

We loved the house.
We loved the house. The view across the grounds to the beach was lovely and our dog was so happy to be able to move around freely. The facilities at the beach were just what we wanted and added to our break. The house had a lovely deck where we spent a lot of time enjoying the view and the fresh air. We'll be back, for certain.

The property was fantastic with heaps to do & very relaxing. The Chalet was very well equipped & we loved the covered & fenced balcony where we spent most of our time. I've already recommended you to some friends & we'll be back! The description of the property though didn't indicate to me that there was more than just our Chalet & Beryl's. This didn't pose an issue but caught us by surprise when we realised there were other families & dogs there too.

We had a wonderful stay with our dogs - we enjoyed relaxing on the property, taking in the beautiful views, and watching the Wekas run around the lawn. With Russell just a short drive, walk, or kayak away, we will definitely be looking to come back and stay again.
