You’ll find parts of New Zealand’s history throughout Russell and The Duke is no exception.
Established in 1827 and proudly holding the country’s first liquor licence in 1840, it’s a beloved icon. Since 2010, Anton and Bridget Haagh, Riki Kinnaird and Jayne Shirley have been its custodians keeping the spirit alive for generations to come.
If The Duke holds a place in your heart and your next escape is never far from mind, consider this your personal dispatch.
Be the first to know what’s on, what’s pouring, and what mischief awaits – right here at the Bay of Islands’ most historic address.
