I've stayed at the Duke before and I can't fault it. Lovely hotel in a special location. The staff are very professional and welcoming. I was travelling alone and had a 'small' room which was perfect for me.

Amazing location right on the beach, really enjoyed the hot tub taking in the view. Very clean with everything we needed, lots of thoughtful touches. Loved the torches for our Kiwi walk in the evening, wonderful activity and so special we got to see them! Great communication with the host, would definitely stay again and recommend.

Stunting location and friendly people with beautiful track walks and the scenery and views are spectacular. We had dinner at Sage restaurant at Paroa Vineyard which I highly recommend for not the fabulous food but the views are beautiful too and the service was outstanding. The scenery is amazing and so are all the trails a must do and definitely a beautiful place to visit

Russell is heavenly.
Russell is heavenly. It is so beautiful and we had the best time. What a gem this part of the world has access to! The oysters were amazing. The food/experience and service at the Duke of Marlborough was first rate. The sunsets were surreal. The visit to Urupakapuka by ferry led to an amazing day of exercise and adventure, we had a heavenly swim in one of the islands isolated beaches by ourselves. What a day!🥰

If you are around Bay of islands I suggest to not stay at Paihai and go to Russell. Smaller, quieter and much nicer. There is a ferry across to Paihai if you want to go there. Long Beach is not to be missed and we enjoyed the Flagstaff walk too.JaneSwitzerland - 10Scored 10

Nice & quiet in the middle of winter.Gets very busy at summertime so booking ahead is essential. Always good food at The Duke restaurant & great front rooms with a balcony with sea views & a view of the street, great for a couple of drinks before heading to the bar!

Russell was so cool.
Russell was so cool. Easy to get around and so lovely in Winter as very few people. The history is interesting and the people were mostly friendly. Next time we will stay 3 nights as we really relaxed and book a trip to Sage restaurant for a special treat.VirginiaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
It is a beautiful location and peaceful.
It is a beautiful location and peaceful. There are enough cafe's / restaurants for 4 or 5 days but plenty more in nearby resorts. The one thing you need to realise about NZ is that "eateries" general cafe's and take aways open early 6 or 7 am but close early too, 3 or 4pm. In general the stop serving an hour before. A lot of restaurants open 12 to 3pm and 5 to 8pm. If you want to eat late you need to check on line for places. Very few apart from Asian places take orders after 9pm. Good supermarket. Lovely sea and beaches around. Public loos are quite prolific in NZ including beaches with changing rooms. The whole country top to bottom is wort a visit. Low traffic levels apart from cities. Lot of mountain roads.

- From US$168.25 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 221 reviewsLocation was perfect - in the heart of Russell with a view over the jetty and bay. The little covered seating area, equipped with outdoor furniture was a great place to unwind and watch the sunset over Paihia. Bentley and Porsche, the local felines, called by each evening to say hello and were delightful. Pool, spa pool and laundry were some of the amenities on offer. We extended our stay by an extra night - three in total. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.JustineNew Zealand
- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 132 reviewsAn absolutely beautiful historic building with stunning views over the bay. We had an amazing 2 bed suite with small lounge and terrace, the place was spotless. Greg and Peter were perfect hosts, so happy to help with any question and was so lovely to hear the history of the house and area. Tea, coffee, homemade biscuits available and honesty bar. Peter makes amazing breakfasts! Russell town is so pretty too, particularly out of high season.
