Great place in Russell!
We loved our stay here. The views were stunning and the location was great - very central and close to everything. The villa was comfortable and bright. Highly recommend!

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!

Great views and location
Overall great location close to Russell township and great views of the harbour and bush. Heard Kiwi throughout the night and Weka visited which was a special highlight.

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 are a well travelled couple who enjoy seeing visitors using our property in Russell. Give us a call on +64275978578 if we can assist in your decision to stay.

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.
