Amazing Bach in an ideal location
Russell is an amazing place and this Bach is just perfect for enjoying it. The property is clean, has plenty of bedrooms and parking, and is excellently equipped. My only point of note is that the air conditioning struggles to cool the apartment with the summer sun so it was very hot at night.

Lovely stay and amazing views
Very grateful to Nic & family for accommodating us at short notice due to a last minute cancellation nearby. She was quick to communicate and accommodating of our early check in as well. The property is very homely and has a great view over the water. It is advertised as 2 x toilets however one is only accessible from outside which we didn’t realise , so this wasn’t practical for us. The bed configuration is also bunk beds in 2 out of 3 rooms (queen at bottom) so not ideal for adult couples. The location is very close to town, although a steep hill to get there and back of walking. Overall we enjoyed our stay - thank you
