Peter & Jenny were brilliant hosts and it was great to have a chat when Peter brought up our breakfast every morning for us to eat on the sun filled deck. Our cottage was gorgeous with a deck out front overlooking a gorgeous tree filled garden with birdsong from dawn to dusk, and a view of the bay. We can't wait to get back and stay again.

    We were welcomed by the lovely Catherine. Showed to our apartment,what a stunning view and amazing sunsets!.. A very well set out apartment. A few special touches like white robes to wear, hot tub with a view and little chocolates in the fridge for each of us. Our hosts could not have done more for us, even bringing in our washing one day when it started to rain...if We get back to Russell one day, we will definitely look up Bellrock....thanx Cathrine and Stuart.

    We stayed in "the bungalow" which turned out to be much more spacious than it looks in the pictures. The bathroom is huge with a lovely spa bath that unfortunately we didn't get time to use as we were only there for one night. It was a lovely place and I only wish that we had stayed longer to enjoy it.

    Arcadia Lodge was a very cosy & comfortable stay in a much loved and maintained historical building with bay view. Peter and Greg know the area well and gave us great recommendations of places to visit. Peter’s breakfasts were superb! He produced unique and delicious food every morning - even during a power failure. Greg’s hospitality and attention to detail was above and beyond!

    A boutique lodge located a very short walk into the idyllic town of Russell in the Bay Of Islands. Greg and Peter are the best hosts. Before we arrived they recommended some superb places to eat. The breakfasts are to die for, beautifully presented and making use of ingredients from the garden Peter beats any chef I have encountered. The rooms are tastefully kitted out with everything you could possibly want and have views overlooking the bay. Couldn’t fault it, the most perfect three night stay!
