An unique experience, beautiful and very pleasant. Wonderful breakfast and friendly, helpful hosts. Highly recommended 😁

Wonderful stay at Arcadia Lodge, from the friendly personal greeting (Greg), super breakfasts (Peter), lovely room, cleanliness, to our departure 5 days later. Highly recommended. Thanks again guys.

Arcadia Lodge is a very special place. The hosts, Greg and Peter, have lovingly crafted a nest of tranquility overlooking the water, on the edge of Russell. From the accommodation to the meals, to the caring from G and P, it was an idyllic stay.

Arcadia Lodge is a beautiful old historical home which has been upgraded to luxury standard with decor and furnishings that reflect the history of the time. All this surrounded by a beautiful garden. Guests can not fail to relax due to the outstanding hospitality of the hosts,the attention to detail and the special touches that make guests feel special. As well as this the breakfast offerings are second to none served on the deck when possible overlooking Matauwhi bay.The location is excellent. A few minutes to Russell township by car or an easy ten minute walk. Restaurants,activities,shops,vineyards and beaches are all easily accessible if you can tear yourself away from the ambience of the lodge. A world class accomodation without the airfare!

Lovely views, great hosts, excellent food. The grounds were beautifully kept and the rooms had nice period pieces and original local paintings of the Islands/scenery/birds.

I liked everything about this property. The hosts, the food, the views, the beautiful furnishings, the history, the class, the thoughtful points of difference. This was one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed.

Beautiful historical house, love the location, the owners were so lovely and were always there to help us with anything and everything

We felt welcome and cared for! The accommodations were comfy and charming and the breakfast was delicious! Thorough enjoyed our stay!

The property had character and a wonderful view. We received an upgrade to the cottage and would recommend this property.

Amazing breakfast prepared by Peter and helpful suggested activities from Greg!

Just a short walk out of the centre of Russell, the Arcadia Lodge was a great place to stay. Both Peter and Greg were amazing hosts, offered us loads of great information about the area and their restaurant recommendations were fantastic. The rooms were spacious and the breakfasts were excellent, all served on a wonderful terrace overlooking the small bay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service - nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding breakfast each morning.

From our initial welcome to our departure a couple of days later, Greg and Peter were super hosts. Our room was very quaint and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the property. The views and the fragrance from the gardens were great and the walk into town was only 10 minutes. Peter spoiled us with amazing breakfasts. We would highly recommend Arcadia Lodge to other travellers looking for a really nice B&B experience.

Beautiful boutique B and B, superbly managed by two expert hosts in a unique corner of the pretty Bay of Islands

Great location. House beautiful. Awesome views and relaxing, peaceful location. Short stroll into town. Breakfast was amazing!

There was nothing to dislike about this property. Peter and Greg are excellent hosts, location was perfect - lovely views and easy walk into town. Greg's suggestions for restaurants were bang on and he made booking any excursion a non-event. Breakfast was terrific and sitting on the balcony enjoying wine in the afternoon was an excellent opportunity to meet and chat with the other guests.

Tremendous house overlooking the yacht filled bayLovely hosts very professional and friendly couldn’t do enough to help us enjoy our stay A great b& b which we will return to on our next trip to New Zealand

There is nothing not to like. Hosts are wonderfully helpful and welcoming. Home is in a great location with unbelievable views. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Peter’s breakfasts (We enjoyed three of them.) were unique, creative but not too avant- gard that reasonable people would not love them. Russell is fantastic with great hiking.

We loved it! Most accommodating hosts/concierge and the breakfast was amazing. Met other travelers from all over. Did not want to leave.

We completed a recent trip to New Zealand in Russell staying at the Arcadia Lodge. It was the perfect ending to a great trip. The location is great; beautiful views of a small bay, quick walk to town, beautiful grounds, and comfortable beds. Inn Keepers Greg and Peter were very attentive and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing. Will definitely stay again!

From the moment we arrived everything was more than we had expected: the view, the friendly hosts, great breakfast using local fresh produce and the homestead itself. The hosts have great local knowledge and went out of their way to ensure our days were full of options suited to our interests.

Very nicely renovated villa. Peter and Greg were amazing hosts and the breakfast was better than anything in town. We are going back at the end of the year.

It was a great experience staying at Arcadia. The views from our bedroom were marvellous. The house and gardens are maintained meticulously and it was a delight. Our hosts were very friendly and useful and cooked a delicious breakfast. I would highly recommend staying here. Elderly people should request a downstairs room.

Lovely old home carefully and tastefully furnished. If you want modern fittings, tv and heated towel rails this is not for you. But if you want quiet, charm with good service and delightful breakfast ...then there is the view. We loved it - thanks David & Brad
