Resort in Russell

See Kiwi in the Wild – Right Here at this Holiday Park! Russell-Orongo Bay Holiday Park is one of the few places in New Zealand where you can see kiwi in the wild. As night falls, listen for their distinctive calls echoing through the native bush — and with a rise in recent guest sightings, you might even spot one in its natural habitat. Chosen by the BBC to film New Zealand’s rare birdlife, the park offers a truly unique experience of close encounters with native wildlife. All stays are TV-free, so you can switch off and tune into nature. Visit reception for a copy of our Switch Off & Explore Guide, packed with ideas for things to do around the park, in Russell, and throughout the Bay of Islands. Choose from a range of affordable accommodation options — from self-contained cottages, bungalows, and cabins to scenic powered and non-powered campsites. Perfect for couples, families, and groups, with a spacious lodge that sleeps up to 60 guests. Wake to the sound of native birdsong (over 55 species recorded), relax by the firepit under starry skies, and experience the rare thrill of seeing wild kiwi and weka in their natural environment. Enjoy great facilities including a saltwater swimming pool, playground, communal firepit, BBQs, and a wood-fired pizza oven. Use the central Bay of Islands location as your base to explore nearby beaches, walking trails, heritage sites, and adventures on land or sea. Every stay makes a difference — a portion of your booking supports ongoing habitat restoration and predator control within the park. Make memories as nature intended.
