"The hotelier at reception placed us in a really stunning 2 bedroom apartment. It was up on the top floor, completely exposed to the sparkling waters of the beach directly across the road. The front of the apartment had large bi-fold doors which opened completely out to the roomy sunny balcony. We could see the Waitangi grounds while sitting relaxing with a glass of bubbly. Kitchen was very modern and well appointed with all the things to make for a relaxing stay. Lounge, bedrooms and bathroom all meticulously clean and modern. Loved the small touches of NZ made conscientious soaps. If I return to Paihia, I would definitely opt to stay here again, it's beautiful. The grounds were all neatly kept too. Staff are wonderful! Thank you for a memorable stay in this most pristine part of the north island."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Russell Forest?
The best area to stay in Russell Forest is the town of Russell itself, particularly the waterfront area along The Strand.Russell is a small, historic town that was once New Zealand's first capital. The Strand, which runs along the foreshore, is the heart of the town, lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. It's a very walkable area with easy access to the wharf, where many boat tours depart.Couples looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway will find Russell ideal. You can enjoy strolls along the waterfront, dine at restaurants with harbour views, and explore historic sites like Christ Church, New Zealand's oldest church. Many accommodations in this area offer stunning views of the Bay of Islands.For those wanting a bit more seclusion while still being close to the town's amenities, properties slightly further back from The Strand, perhaps up the hills overlooking the bay, offer a peaceful retreat.
When is the best time to go to Russell Forest?
The best time to visit Russell Forest is during the warmer, drier months, typically from October to April.This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the forest's walking tracks and enjoying outdoor activities. You'll find the trails are generally in better condition, and the risk of heavy rainfall is lower, which is ideal for hiking and wildlife spotting. The temperatures are comfortable, making it great for spending time outdoors.For those planning to combine their forest visit with coastal activities, these months also align with the best beach weather in the wider Northland region.
