The Top House, so named because of its location, with 270 degree views, has unrivalled privacy, and it's own helipad. This recently renovated 3 bedroom house is located on 330 acres of private farmland. The house has been finished to a high standard, with excellent amenities, including hot tub with amazing views, outdoor dining and lounge spaces on 360 degree decks, WiFi, two TVs, heaps of parking, modern kitchen and luxury bathrooms, and comfortable stylish furniture throughout.

The Farm The Top House is located on large family farm. There are no permanent occupants and while there maybe family holidaying in other houses on the farm the privacy of this location is excellent. No Pets There are Kiwi living on the property so we are unable to accept bookings with pets. The Area The village of Russell is located in the stunningly beautiful Bay of Islands. Russell is an historic place with buckets of character. It's home to several historic buildings, including NZ's oldest licenced premises, and an old wooden church still bearing musket bullet holes! Many of the historic buildings are right on the waterfront, and a walk along there is very atmospheric. Further afield there are many picturesque spots around the Bay of Islands and lots of activities and day trips available. Five fun activities in the area: 1. Explore the Russell village and sample great food from a range of different restaurants. 2. Check out the vineyards, both near Russell and the rest of the Bay of Islands. A lot of award winning wine is made in Northland. 3. Get out on the water - go see the Hole in the Rock, go game fishing, just head out to an island with a picnic and go swimming, or try para-sailing. 4. Go walking around Russell or further afield in the Bay of Islands. 5. Go to the beach - there are beautiful beaches just minutes from Russell. Driving The most convenient way to get to Russell is to take the car ferry from Opua to Okiato. It's a 5 minute drive to the Top House once you get off the ferry. The ferry is a 7 minute journey, and runs continuously from 6am - 10pm daily. Guest access The whole house is for your exclusive use. You'll also have access to a garage.
