Facilities
The wharf is located in the heart of Kororareka Russell, and is an ideal location for a couple of days if you wish to visit the village, enjoy the restaurants, explore the rich history or do some of the beautiful local walks. However, please be aware that Kororareka Russell has no public water scheme. As a result there is no potable water available on the wharf for visiting boats.
If you need marina facilities, such as power and water then please contact Bay of Islands Marina situated at Opua and book a berth there.
