Robins Nest is an open-plan self-catering unit situated in Tapeka Point, a 5-minute drive from the historic Russell Village. Kororareka Point Scenic Reserve and Wahihi Bay are each a 4-minute drive away. Free WiFi and free private parking are provided.

Robins Nest is one of the nicest holiday lets we have stayed in. It is situated at the top end of a quiet street with distant views of the sea and - with a car - you are very well placed to explore everywhere around Russell. There are beautiful walks from the doorstep, including a lovely nature trail into Russell itself. The accommodation is perfect for 4 people, with two good-sized and extremely comfortable bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a large open-plan kitchen / diner / sitting room. The whole place is freshly decorated and very comfortably furnished. We really couldn't fault it and we couldn't have wished for a better place to stay for our short visit to this beautiful part of New Zealand. We should also say that Sharon and Paul are perfect hosts: communication in advance was easy and helpful, they made us feel welcome and gave us useful advice while remaining discreetly in the background.

    Had a great stay here and recommend it. Our room was spacious with a well-equipped kitchen with full fridge, comfy bed, and sofa. Plenty of room to spread out. There is wonderful espresso across the street at “Hell Hole”. The hotel is 1.5 blocks from the waterfront and ferry. It was a pleasant little walk to go for a swim. Lots of restaurants within one block. Recommend Hone’s Garden for incredible pizza. Russell is a delightful place and this hotel was spot on for our stay,

    The studio is one of a group of 4 but remains private. There is a small balcony where you can sit overlooking the lovely view of the sea. The kitchen is small but well equipped and there is an outdoor kitchen for guests to use if you want to cook something. It's easy to find and there is good parking. Russell is just 5 minutes away but you would need a car.

    Wonderful host couple!! They went out of their way to accommodate us including doing our laundry and picking us up in town when we were too tired to walk home! Gorgeous gardens, views of Orongo Bay, nice room and decor with opportunity to cook in a beautiful outdoor kitchen if desired. Nice walking in the nearby forest and mangrove areas. We liked it so much, we wanted to change our plans and stay longer. Since Fantail was booked, the innkeeper found us another place that was perfect. Wonderful experience!
