Located 10 minutes' walk from Russell's bars, restaurants and cafes, Titore Lodge offers rooms with free WiFi and a private patio.

Titore Lodge is 400 metres from Flagstaff Hill and 900 metres from the Russell Museum.

I had a great stay at Titore Lodge. Karen is so kind and welcoming, which made my stay even better. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. I also liked that there is a hiking trail right by the property, so I could walk/hike into town (I did not have a car).

Situated in Paihia, this apartment is 4.2 km from Opua Forest. Featuring panoramic views to Russell and Waitangi, this self contained apartment has its own private deck overlooking the bay. Guests enjoy free WiFi and off street parking.

Everything! The accommodation is perfect in a superb location overlooking the bay. It is Immaculately clean and well furnished, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Basic essentials were provided as well as breakfast cereal, milk, tea & coffee, biscuits and even a bottle of wine. Murray & Pam are the perfect hosts and were on hand with tips/advice during our stay. It's a great base for exploring the Bay of Islands, Paihia itself is a lovely little town, we took the car ferry to Russell and a boat trip from Paihia to the hole in the rock and went to Kerikeri to see the waterfalls. It really is the perfect place if you just want to chill out; we loved watching the sun come up each morning; a stunning view.

    Stylish and beautifully furnished and cared for. Hosts were perfect — professional and friendly at the same time. Views of the bay from the property were amazing (right from your breakfast balcony). Peter’s cooking was superb - obviously a labour of love.

    Well I’ve stayed in lots of hotels and pubs over the years but the Duke of Marlborough hotel sits firmly above the rest. Seriously this place is exceptional from accommodation to food. It’s history is colourful and impressive. IT’s scenic location is the stuff of postcards. Superbly appointed and decorated, you get a real sense of the hotels history with a 5 star feel, so we’ll maintained and presented. You really need to stay and dine here. The experience is something you won’t forget and for all the right reasons. 5stars!!

    Such a stunning, spotlessly clean property and superb location. Baden is an outstanding host, with a calm, professional yet friendly and welcoming demeanour. Easy to communicate with and forthcoming with local information. Stayed 3 nights and definitely didn’t want to leave!

    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!

    We were in Room 103, simply superb! Room, bed, facilities, balcony, views all excellent. Breakfast was buffet but very good choices. My husband would have liked the option of ordering eggs other than the scrambled egg supplied in the buffet. Dinner menu, food was good but a wider range of choices would have given us more to choose from over a five day stay. Perhaps at least one different chef's special per night?
