Our stay at the beautiful Arcadia Lodge in the charming town of Russell made the experience even more special. Arcadia Lodge is a boutique accommodation overlooking the picturesque Matauwhi Bay, just a short and pleasant walk into the heart of Russell. This charming historic home is tastefully appointed, blending character with modern comfort. Our suites were very comfortable, featuring king-size beds and thoughtful touches throughout. What truly made our stay memorable was the outstanding hospitality offered by our hosts, Greg and Peter. Greg shared fascinating insights into the history of the home and provided us with detailed information about Russell and the Bay of Islands region. He also went above and beyond by making restaurant and tour bookings on our behalf. In addition to their warm hospitality, the ultimate highlight was the beautifully presented three-course breakfast created each morning by Peter, featuring fresh and preserved ingredients from their garden. If you're planning a trip to the Bay of Islands, a stay at Arcadia Lodge is an absolute must. Thank you, Greg and Peter, for your warm hospitality, sharing your beautiful home, and for offering such wonderful insight into your amazing backyard. ##### Greg Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rochelle Nov 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at Arcadia Lodge.

Quite simply, the very best. ##### Steven Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simone Jan 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This historic house, built in the early 1900's has been beautifully maintained with exquisite attention to detail throughout. The views are stunning and the breakfasts, prepared by one of the hosts who is a trained chef are to die for. Easy walking distance into Russell, with loads to do, see, and places to eat there. A variety of rooms and super friendly hosts, can't wait to return, summer or winter. ##### Simone ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter Mar 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular Greg and Peter were wonderful hosts. The room was extremely clean and a good size. The views of their garden and towards the bay were spectacular. Their breakfast was an absolute masterpiece - great choices, variety each day and so well served. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend them to anyone looking for special accommodation so close to Russell town centre. ##### peter Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Apr 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The outlook from the property is spectacular and our hosts, Greg and Peter, went 'above and beyond' to make our stay extremely special.

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. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely views, great hosts, excellent food.
