Brilliant stay
Our stay was great. Russell is beautiful and we got to look out over the harbour from the deck. It’s an easy 2 minute walk down the hill to the town and we loved the house. Huge bed, good facilities and very clean and tidy. Recommend.

Fantastic Stay in Russell!
Absolutely wonderful staying here! The view out to the bay is sublime and we really could have sat and watched the water all day, but we also asked Leslie for some recommendations for food in and around town, and everything was delicious! The house was perfect for our needs, and we even grilled up some lamb one night. Couldn't have asked for a better spot to land in the Bay of Isles.

A Little Gem
The bach is in a great location and features an amazing view of the water. A quick walk down to the shops, supermarket and water. The property was very clean and tidy and provided everything we needed. It has airconditioning for the hot months and extra blankets for the cold.
