Refuge rétro à Russell - Minutes du ferry, plage, restaurants

Nestled in the heart of historic Russell, Retro Russell Retreat is the perfect family bach for your next getaway.

Recently renovated, the home combines classic charm with modern comforts, creating a warm and inviting space for your holiday. From ice creams on the beach to laughter-filled meals and unforgettable moments together, Retro Russell Retreat offers everything you need for a memorable and relaxing escape.

Embodying the spirit of classic Kiwi bach living, the home is perfect for summer cocktails on the deck, relaxed meals, and family togetherness. Maori-inspired artwork adds vibrant cultural flair, while its retro yet refreshed style keeps the space bright, neat, and full of character.

The well-equipped kitchen and quirky orange dining banquet for six make shared meals a joy, while the sunlit living room, complete with Smart TV, Chromecast, and WiFi, opens via bifold doors onto the deck for a relaxed, breezy atmosphere.

The three bedrooms provide a comfortable retreat for up to six guests, with new beds, fresh linen, and modern USB ports and lighting. Please note there is no laundry on site, but there is plenty of clothesline space and a laundromat conveniently located in town.

Step outside to enjoy morning coffee or an evening sundowner in the private garden, with elevated views down to the water. Set in a quiet, elevated position above Russell Township, the home is just a one-minute drive, or a five-minute walk via the Zig Zag Track to Russell’s charming waterfront. Explore historic streets, museums, pubs, woodfired pizzerias, fresh seafood restaurants, or walk to Long Beach for a swim. Ferries to Paihia and a range of day trips, island adventures, and cultural experiences are all nearby, making this the perfect base for a memorable Bay of Islands getaway.
Please be aware that the property owners may occasionally stay on-site in a separate sleepout, which is accessed via the carport only.
