When you rent both houses together, the entire property becomes your own private sanctuary.

Great for large family groups, it easily sleeps 16 between the 2 houses, with 5 double bedrooms, 2 kitchens, a large bunk-room, 3 bathrooms, 2 BBQs & a fleet of beanbags to laze about on the sprawling sunny grounds. There are plenty of spaces where you can hang out together day or night, and plenty of places where you can hideaway for some alone time with a book in the sun.

Just a short stroll into historic Russell township and all it has to offer, there's safe all-tide swimming right in front of the house in Kororareka Bay, Russell town's main beach - or take an easy 20 minute stroll (or a short 3 min drive) over to stunning Oneroa (Long Beach)

The Henipapa property is nestled in a very healthy bush area so it's immersed in birdsong; you'll hear kiwi and ruru (morepork) calling to each other in the evening - you may even see one if you keep a watchful eye out! You'll definitely see the family of cheeky Weka roaming around the property during the day.

Note: Christmas and New Year bookings are 5 nights minimum. Summer season (Dec, Jan, Feb) is 3 nights minimum, as are long weekends throughout the year.
