About Russell

The Russell peninsula bay is every bit as beautiful as they say it is. The colour of the water is often an unbelievable turquoise blue and it's well worth taking a trip out there. Equally beautiful are the coastal countryside and forests of the Russell and Rawhiti Peninsulas which are within a short driving distance.

The area is also rich in history and Māori culture both pre-European and colonial. Waitangi is the site of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840, regarded as the founding document of modern New Zealand.

The village's history trails, great little museum, galleries, restaurants and cafes are just along the road. We can advise you on restaurants and make reservations for you.
