Host review score
This very special property in the heart of Russell is the best we’ve found in this amazing seaside village.
The upstairs guest suite is separate from the owners private home by way of another entrance door at the top of the stairs. Super bedroom, lounge and bathroom. There is a satellite flat screen tv with Netflix. The kitchenette is complete with a small fridge and microwave (however it is not suitable for preparing full meals). The suite has lounge sofas, a full dining suite, crockery and cutlery and glassware. The balcony overlooking the beach has outdoor furniture and clear roller blinds.
This property only accommodates one booking at a time so you will enjoy the privacy and stunning location of this B & B suite.
The bathroom is compact with shower, toilet and vanity.
We love it here and hope you will too.
We enjoy hosting guests who have the joy of travel.
Everything is just a short flat stroll from this property. The wharf is two minutes away, you can see it from the top balcony. So many lovely eateries here and we are only two doors from the famous Duke of Marlborough Hotel. Two wineries are a short drive away and a taxi service is usually a available. There are supermarkets, liquor stores, galleries and boutique shops along our road. All cruises and charters leave from our wharf.
Waitangi treaty grounds and the golf course are just across the water.
Safe swimming at your doorstep here or a few minutes over the hill to sandy LongBeach.
