Imagine strolling along Paihia Wharf for some great waterfront pics when in the heart of Paihia.
If you carry on walking you'll get to Paihia Beach for some more water views.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Russell Beach in the heart of Russell. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Long Beach and Paihia Beach.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Waitangi Treaty Grounds— just one of the landmarks located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Waitangi. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is full of friendly people and has lots of nice beaches.
one of the most spectacular places we've stayed, ever- anywhere. Clean clomfy kind & close to everything. Great breakfast And extraordinary views
I'd go back once a month if i could

Such a beautiful property- we especially loved our gourmet breakfast on the balcony overlooking the bay and being able to easily walk into town. Peter and Greg were very accommodating hosts - we so enjoyed our time in Russell.

A quick overnight trip en route to Russell but a lovely place. Super clean and well equipped. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. Beautiful place on the beach with a world class view. Wish we could have stayed longer. Nice restaurants nearby too!

Wonderful owners who can't do enough for you. Wonderful apartment, very clean and perfect location. One of the nicest placed we stayed in NEW Zealand. Beds comfortable, nice kitchen facilities. Best place in Paihia in our opinion. Reasonable price also.

My husband and I arrived in Whangarei unexpectedly due to a medical emergency. After being discharged from the local hospital we booked the Lodge Bordeaux at the recommendation of the port agent. From the moment we checked in Josh, one of the owners at the front desk, was so welcoming and accommodating. For the two days we stayed to take a breather and plan our travel and return home, was so helpful in restaurant and travel recommendations for our return to Sydney.

Great B&B property in a beautiful setting, gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. Breakfast was wonderful every morning and Pauline offered valuable information about local sights and restaurants. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This was an excellent place to stay, and an excellent value. Easy parking, walkable to restaurants, and very friendly and efficient check in. Would not hesitate to stay again.
