The Bay of Islands Cottages are hidden among a lush garden that runs from the road right down to the water. Once inside, it's as if you're the only people within a hundred miles. The cottages are peaceful, well appointed, and very comfortable, with views out over Orongo Bay. The real highlight for us, though, was breakfast with Peter and... more

Being 6 months pregnant, I was looking for a quiet relaxing getaway for a few days with my husband. Bay of Islands Cottages certainly did not disappoint! The owners, Jenny & Peter, were the nicest and most helpful / knowledgeable hosts you could hope for. The breakfasts were to die for, with a different cooked dish each day supplementing their... more

This is not the first time we have stayed here. It's hard to find a B&B where you have your own separate accommodation and can truly relax. This place has it all. It's peaceful, gorgeous view of the sea, private, good-sized sunny deck, beautiful decor, and of course, a fantastic breakfast. Jenny is great about cooking for your needs -... more

My daughter and I had a wonderful few days at the Bay of Islands Cottages recently. It's such a tranquil place - where you can listen to the bird calls and explore the native bush, as well as enjoy delicious meals with the hosts, Jenny and Peter. They made us feel very welcome. The Cottages are only a short drive... more

Individual, self-contained cottages, surrounded by bush with a view of the bay. The cottage was spacious with basic kitchen facilities, bathroom with walk in shower and a large deck accessible from both the living room and bedroom. Jenny prepares a special breakfast with fresh fruits, juice, and cereals, home made scones or muffins and a different treat each morning. If... more

Finding this B&B was an absolute treat. It just doesn't get any better. If it's a clean, relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by stunning views and beautiful gardens your looking for, them this is it. The owners are probably some of the nicest people you'll have the pleasure of meeting and whip up one of the best, organic, home grown breakfasts your... more

Russell is the most beautiful place to stay in the Bay of Islands and Brisa Cottages are the ideal base. The location is stunning, on a hillsde among lush gardens with views over an idyllic bay. The cottages are beautifully designed and furnished with large balconies and not overlooked by anyone or anything. Peter and Jenny are wonderful hosts. They... more

This is a gem of a place to stay in the Bay of Islands. The cottage we stayed in has two good sized rooms (living/bedroom) separated by large sliding doors which offer good soundproofing if one of you is suffering temporary insomnia. The bathroom and kitchen are both well equipped and the inclusion of a separate area for dressing and... more

Stayed here for 3 nights, wished it could have been longer! Great location between Russell and the car ferry surrounded by bush with views to the creek. Very warm welcome from Jenny & Peter. Well appointed and comfortable accomodation. Hearty breakfasts on the deck putting the world to rights with the other guests and hosts.My description can't do it justice,... more
