Russell Kororareka

Russell is one of the prettiest towns in New Zealand. It is located in the region of Bay of Islands, north of the northern island. It has some spectacular landscapes and vegetation and its inhabitants are very hospitable and friendly to visitors. It is also amazing to see how well kept all the houses are and how they neither have fences or lock their doors. Its Maori name is Kororareka. It is small and very quiet with less than a thousand inhabitants. There is a cheap ferry service departing from the small harbor taking you to the town of Paihia. This is an absolute must if you visit this area of ​​the country.
