This is great stay specially with kids. It's got a games room and two swimming pools overlooking the front beach. The Restaurants, shops and peer is with in walking distance. A big up for housekeeping and the beds are a bliss to sleep on. I love the fact that our room has a communal basin (kitchen and bathroom Basin) outside the bathroom and that the toilette is separate from our bathroom which incl a shower and a bath. Reception and night staff is always available and very helpful will surely visit again when exploring the Bay of Islands.

Everything is clean, the staff is nice and the view from the common room/kitchen is simply marvellous. The Wifi worked really well and the location is brilliant, right in the middle of town looking out over the harbour area and lots of food places around. The rooms are small but manageable. I loved that I had a socket and a light next to my bed and a curtain for some private space.

    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. Thanks again for a great stay!

    We love the Duke of Marlborough, amazing spot right on the water in Russell, love that you can have a dip in the sea as soon as you walk out the front door and can then order food and drink from the outdoor tables right on the beach. The history being incorporated into the asthetic of the hotel is great and makes the rooms interesting as well making it a great place to dine. It's like going back in time. Food is excellent and we really appreciated the live music outside most evenings.

    Fabulous refurbished classic hotel, right on the beach. Although our room was small it was well appointed. Old world charm with a bar area and restaurant having comfortable chesterfield lounges, fireplaces and dining room with full tablecloths. Great artwork adorning the walls. Tables on the deck overlook the bay have excellent clear screens and heaters if required. Enjoyed all out meals and the attentive service of the staff. If you choose the small rooms they are tight but the lounges and outdoor areas certainly compensate.
