Bellrock Lodge

Russell was known as "The Hell Hole of the Pacific", it is now a historic peaceful village where you will find an 1840's tannery, printing and bookbinding museum, Christ Church the oldest church in New Zealand, with bullet holes reminding us of the turbulent past. Boat trips include Hole in the Rock, dolphin viewing or sailing or fishing charters. Bus trips to Cape Reinga via Ninety Mile Beach. Dive the Rainbow Warrior, take a scenic flight or go paragliding. We especially recommend Salt Air for scenic flights via helicopter.
