The Cowshed Wairoro Park - Russell Holiday Home

The Cowshed is a 1 bedroom unit classic cottage. Located in Russell’s Wairoro Park and shared between 6 dwellings across 64 hectares, both you and your pets are welcome to enjoy the large native grounds and private beach. This is an ideal option for a peaceful getaway to the stunning Bay of Islands.

The Cowshed is a cosy self-contained one bedroom cottage with small ensuite (no bath), small well equipped kitchen, covered deck and BBQ.

Spend days at the private beach onsite. Set yourself up at the picnic table or enjoy the complimentary Kayaks and paddle board. Be sure to keep watch for Kiwi and Weka living in the surrounding native bush. The Point House also has a large rural property with facilities shared between guests accommodation.

The Russell to Okiato walk crosses the rear of the property and offers spectacular ocean views. For a taste of the local wine Omata vineyard is next door to this expansive site. If you’re coming across from the Opua ferry, this tranquil holiday park is situated just 2km away. Head over to Russell for the day, just 7 minutes drive and while your there jump on the ferry to Paihia. For a piece of New Zealand, Waitangi is less than 5 minutes from Paihia.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Not as expected
We only stayed 1 of our 3 nights, the bed was old and saggy. The tiny cabin was not as big as the photos implied. Overpriced, we had been staying in big fancy houses for less $$
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020

Peaceful retreat
This is a great dog friendly place. The location is beautiful; with a lovely beach and great bird life. Dogs are allowed off lead and there are on-lead bush walks available nearby. The unit was well equipped and had a beautiful view. The only downside was the permanent residents living there would sit on their deck in the evenings and smoke weed. This meant that we could not sit outside and enjoy the evenings.
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019

It's a lovely estate with a great location and is very peaceful, but it looks and feels a little tired and could do with an injection of energy and a general spruce-up.

We loved this place, a great reminder of exactly what a holiday should be! Totally emersed in nature, there is an abundance of birdlife and the private bay is just awesome. We caught fish of the beach and went out on the dinghy too. We fed a very tame dove on our deck and also saw weka the first day. Great facilities and an overall fantastic property to explore. The location was very handy to explore the area and we didn't want to leave. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Lovely 1970ies A frame which reminded me of a batch we had in the Coromandel many years ago. Great to be able to bring our two small dogs. Nice to see weka & pheasents etc. Lovely Tui morning chorus to wake up to. Very private accommodation & hidden little bay with beautiful views across the water to Paihia. Easy drive to Russell. A very romantic spot. We love this place!!!

This has to be the most dog friendly place in NZ.
This has to be the most dog friendly place in NZ. The beach is on the doorstep, there's shade and seats and room for all. The smaller chalets are well equipped and comfortable and perfect for a couple. Close to the Opua ferry and only a few minutes drive from Russell and a couple of well-worth a-visit-wineries.
