Historic B & B Guesthouse
(circa 1894)
Russell, THE HEART OF THE BAY OF ISLANDS, New Zealand

"Experience our historical homestead
and enjoy a world of difference".
Your hosts: Allan and Marilyn Nicklin

Ounuwhao is alongside a grassed reserve bordered by century-old Norfolk pines, opposite picturesque Matauwhi Bay - a favourite mooring-place for yachts. Ounuwhao is a short two-minute drive or a casual 10-minute stroll to Russell village.

We offer superior accommodation in four queen rooms, two with extra single bed - all with en-suite or private bathrooms.
The two front rooms feature their own washstand and have French doors opening onto the verandah and conservatory area, with sea views.
All bathrooms are decorated with old-fashioned, hand-painted 'Georgian' tiles and have showers and toilets; two also have a claw-footed bath.

Staying in our guestrooms will take you back to a different era. With their individual decor, traditional hand-made patchwork quilts, brass beds, and fresh posies of flowers picked from our garden to greet you on arrival.
Enjoy the comfortable lounge, with tea and coffee available all day, television, magazines, a wide selection of books and the daily newspaper. Relax in our guestlounge or enjoy a book or cup of tea on our wide-sweeping verandahs, in the conservatory, or surrounded by flowers in our cottage garden.

Garden Suite The detached Garden Suite with spa bath and shower sits comfortably in the cottage gardens, king bed or twin, offering peace and privacy for guests wanting a space of their own. Breakfast is included in the tarrif.

The Cottage

Our 1930's self-contained cottage is set in park-like grounds for your privacy and enjoyment. With two double bedrooms (queen and twin beds), large lounge and sunroom and fully equipped kitchen, it is ideal for people wanting peace and time out. Breakfast is available if required.

Breakfast is served daily between 8.00 and 9.00 am in our dining-room. Sit around our large farmhouse table and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast which might include:

• fresh fruit salad, home-made bread, muffins
  
• fresh orange juice, sour cream and pear or orange pancakes
  
• waffles with peaches and passionfruit cream
  
• Ounuwhao's special Russell toast with fresh fruits and Greek yoghurt
  
• freshly brewed tea and coffee, toast or toasted muffin splits and home-made jams and preserves

We pride ourselves on our healthy 'start-to-the-day' breakfasts.
We're sure you will enjoy them too.

Our home is smokefree.
