Beautiful place to stay, you have everything you need, including a full kitchen, smart tv, comfortable bed. You can park in front of the door and it is walking distance from all the restaurants.

We liked Bellrock Lodge and this little village so much, we even extended our stay! :) It is worth staying longer in Kororareka Russell and especially at Bellrock Lodge, so let us tell you why: Bellrock Lodge is situated on a little hill (if you walk, there are a few steep meters) and because of that, you will have the most amazing views from your terrace over the coast. On clear days you will even see as far as Waitangi. The apartment and the terrace are quite spacious, even the bathroom offers more than usual space in rental properties. It is very nice equipped. The garden is beautiful so you also see beautiful garden greenery from the terrace. The hosts Catherine and Stuart are very kind and responded fast via WhatsApp. Their sweet dog Piper was also a great host and excited to offer play time with her favorite football and such :D Catherine and Stuart were always very hospitable, so for instance, if you get in a morning rain like us, getting new towels is easy peasy, just a message/call away ;-) The Lodge offers great amendities: laundry, dryer, DVD Library (great selection, we loved it), CD and Book Library aswell... To top it off, the Whirlpool and BBQ area are great, with superb views also. We loved to enjoy the Spa, especially on rainy days. In addition to that, we highly appreciated how thoughtful everything is equipped, there are umbrellas in the driveway, wineglasses from plastic for the Spa, different chairs (even comfy reading/TV chairs), more than 2 different towel sizes and many more things like that.. We have travelled a lot and Bellrock Lodge is one of our favorites. You nearly forget, that you are at a self-service accomendation because everything is so thoughtfully done. Thank you Catherine & Stuart! P.s. It is worth staying longer, you can experience a lot in the area, walk to the beaches from Bellrock if you want to, get groceries and have great restaurants/cafés in town.

Exceptionally clean and well maintained studio. The King size bed was very comfortable and we had everything needed for an enjoyable three night stay. Our host, Julie, was friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. She gave us many good recommendations and provides a laundry service, which was much appreciated on our extended trip. Pahia is a beautiful spot to spend a few days. Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome by Penny one of the owners. Our garden suite room was spacious, comfy and very well equipped. We loved the small kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave. Fresh milk was available from reception. A very informative folder was in our room giving recommendations of excursions, walks etc Admirals View Lodge is in a quiet location and a pleasant 10 minute walk along the beautiful sea front into Paihia. We loved our 2 night stay here and would happily stay again. Supetb

The ocean directly across the road in full view of both lounge and bedroom was amazing. I sat and watched the sunset and sunrise from the couch.

Spectacular views!! Literally so close to the beachfront that when you open the doors you can hear the gentle waves lapping on the shore - amazing!! I also arrived about an hour earlier than anticipated but as the room was ready allowed me to check in sooner. The staff were so attentive and helpful with a few of my request which was great!!

The condo was very well appointed with all amenities. Balcony offered spectacular views of the water as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Conveniently located one kilometer from the town walking along the beach at low tide. Theo, the owner, provided a gracious welcome sparking wine in hand. We appreciated his assistance while parking our beast of a Ford Ranger! Would definitely return.
