It requires a massive leap of imagination to consider this peaceful, small township, nestled on sparkling shores in the heart of the Bay of Islands, as the ‘hell hole of the Pacific’, a moniker sprung from lawless days as a whaling station.
The village of Russell maintains a genteel colonial charm. Set among lush subtropical bloom, with a selection of excellent restaurants on the calm waterfront, it is a perfect secluded getaway.
