The Duke of Marlborough Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jacqui on reception was so helpful and friendly."

Kingsgate Hotel Autolodge Paihia

8/10 Good

"The hotel was conveniently located to Paihia Wharf and nearby shops/restaurants. The rooms were fairly spacious. There was a laundry room that we used, but it could use another set of washer and dryer. Parking was free. There is a game room with an uneven foosball table, a giant Jenga puzzle, a table tennis table with rackets and ball you shared with foosball, a giant Connect 4, and a corn hole board with sacks. The staff was very helpful and friendly."

10/10 Excellent

"Wow ! We unwound and walked and watched the waves. All four seasons during our stay. Spectacular ocean views in both directions and outstanding warmth and shelter from cold or windy conditions. And a shady backyard for the hottest weather too. A real gem of a place and close to some excellent restaurants and historic sites in nearby Russell. The property is immaculately manicured and so clean. So many spaces to enjoy inside and out and a range of beaches literally on the doorstep."

10/10 Excellent

Beachfront Luxury Villa - Infinity Sea Views, Spa Pool, Kayaks near Russell

10/10 Excellent

"Wow what a fabulous stay! The house is more gorgeous than the pictures and the view is out of this world. Clive has thought of everything to make the stay perfect. Seriously I have never stayed in a better equipped house. The things that are often lacking like paper towels, napkins, spices, oils and such were included but also nice wooden hangers, beach towels, a blender, nice pans, ice, a sodastream!, placemats, even masks and covid tests! Really comfy beds, furniture, everything. We stayed 12 nights and then lovely Lana came to clean up and change linens after a few nights which was wonderful. I chose this spot for a significant birthday and anniversary celebration and so glad I did. It was perfect and we can’t wait to come back. Russell is a gem! Thank you Clive!"
