Arcadia Lodge Russell

A warm and welcoming greeting from Greg helped us to feel at home here straight away. The Lodge is perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area, and Peter’s breakfasts are to die for! The rooms are beautiful, and our 2 night stay really didn’t feel long enough. Thank you for an amazing visit.

Peter and Greg provide a top quality experience with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful rooms, stunning views, outstanding breakfast, and the most genuine, positive, gracious hosts you can imagine. This was stay number 6 for me - so, so lucky. And yes, I will be back

The perfect place to experience Russell and surrounds as well as basing yourself to see the Northland area. Wonderful hospitality from our hosts - very knowledgeable about the area, local contacts for tours, attractions etc. great breakfast offering!

We had a brilliant stay at Arcadia Lodge. The property has been restored with great eye to detail and is immaculately presented. Greg and Peter are superb hosts and made us feel relaxed and welcome from the outset. Breakfasts were a highlight and we also enjoyed the communal kitchen and honesty bar which provided a homely atmosphere.

Set in a convenient hilltop location, overlooking the bay, a beautiful experience to be enjoyed. Nothing too much trouble for Greg and Peter. Excellent breakfast all prepared with fresh local ingredients. Relaxed, yet tasteful and spotlessly clean throughout.

Most wonderful breakfast I have ever had complete with homegrown bananas, jams and fresh produce from their garden ! Beautiful views from everywhere , chic accomodation , great shower and large towels - warm hospitality . thank you

We had a very nice, comfortable and well managed stay in the Lodge. The hosts Greg and Peter did a 100% job to make this a memorable stay for everyone. It is pure luxery in the lodge, very good bed, spatious, clean, on a good location within walking distance from the town centre. "Chef" Peter prepares a wonderfull breakfast every morning with healthy ingredients and full of taste.

My wife and I loved our stay at Arcadia House in Russell for our 3 nights in the Bay of Islands. Our suite had 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a small porch with a glorious view of the harbor. Peter and Greg were gracious hosts, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome, comfortable, and well taken care of. Breakfast was excellent, and we had interesting conversations with other international guests. Arcadia Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in a spectacularly beautiful part of the world.

Recommended!! Peter and Greg are the gracious hosts of the lovely Arcadia Lodge in Russel. They made us feel at home quickly. We had our own charming, comfortable 2 bedroom apartment (Matariki). We eagerly looked forward to each breakfast. It was extensive, had fruits and jams from their own garden, and was beautifully presented. The hot course was different each day and always delicious. The view was unbeatable! They were also very helpful in recommending restaurants and they booked us on a lovely sailing trip with Robin and Rick of Phantom Sailing in the Bay of Islands.
