I was not going to write this review, but decided that because I found this B&B through TripAdvisor I should alert others to the problem we had. The reviews of this property are fantastic and they persuaded us to book for three nights on our trip to NZ. The property website only mentions two bedrooms, both of which sound lovely,... More

Sorry you had a bad experience. Our season has been a busy one, and we like our customers to be happy. We are sorry that things did not work out for you in our family unit. We did offer to move you but you did decline. More

A picture perfect seaside town and a quite brilliant bed and breakfast . Viv and Brad were great hosts with some excellent recommendations for things to do like try out long beach , walks and boat trips. Why stay anywhere else in Rusell?

We stayed at another B/B in town but decided on another night AND Arapohue House was FAR SUPERIOR - friendly helpful hosts, superb breakfasts,lovely rooms with quality linens, comforable beds and immaculate gardens tidy and tended. Matched Pentland House in Whangarei. Don't miss this treat in Russell Pat and Anne English Lake District

We booked a night and decided to stay for another. Bradley and Vivienne were marvelous hosts and spoiled us for the rest of our vacation - the Arapohue House was one of our best accommodations during the 3 weeks we were in the country. Breakfast was superb!

We stayed for two nights at the Arapohue House in Russell. We had the room overlooking the parking area in front of the house. This was not disturbing at all as the window at the left side of the room offered a beautiful view to trees and flowers. In fact we enjoyed our afternoon fiesta (and the sunshine) at the... More

Vivienne & Bradley went above and beyond to accommodate me, having arrived past 11:00 pm without a reservation on a weekday. Luckily they were still awake and had one room available. To ease my GPS's failure (and mine) to take an easier route to Russell, they immediately offered me a glass of wine. The room was lovely. When I was... More

This is a very pleasant B&B, in keeping with the B&B standards of New Zealand. Rooms, although fairly small, are well equipped, clean and attractively presented. The bathroom is a good size. Outside the room is a large living room for the use of guests. A small balcony is very pleasant to sit on. The hosts, typically in NZ, are... More
