Very lovely modern home with comfortable bed and good basic kitchen supplies. You do have to take all of your rubbish with you which was a bit surprising.

Relaxing views

We had a wonderful stay! The location was super handy—just a short drive to Russell and close to the car ferry, which made exploring the area really easy. The house has such a peaceful setting, with stunning sea views on one side (perfect from the couch!) and beautiful native bush views on the other. We even heard weka calling at sunset, which was a real treat. The kids loved the selection of toys, which kept them happily entertained, and it was so nice for all of us to have a break from the city. The Bach was well appointed with everything you could need. A perfect spot to relax and recharge.

Russell

This house is basically new and could easily have appeared in the pages of Architectural Digest. It is bright and airy, with sliding doors that capture a cool breeze from the hillside. The furniture and beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is exceptionally well appointed. The neighborhood is quiet, no road noise.

Awesome Accomodation Awesome Hosts

First time in Russell perfect place to stay! Great location just on the edge of town so you get peace and quiet if needed or can be in the centre in a few minutes. The property sits up a hill don’t get a beautiful bay view with the boats below. Everything was well stocked, super tidy and nearly brand new so certainly no old kiwi bach. Hosts were great to deal with excellent communications. Already looking at booking again for next summer! The Moore family.
