We had 3 very relaxing nights here. The photos online definitely didn’t do it justice, it’s was even better in real life. The views and the set out were exceptional. Hearing the water lapping at night just topped off how whole experience.

Fantastic waterfront holiday stay
We were blown away with how beautiful this house is, you are on the water and can enjoy everything Russell island has to offer from the back door. We stayed for a month and couldn’t fault anything the hosts were quick with communication and made our stay there a breeze! We will be recommending this house to anyone that stays on Russell.

Fun on and off the bay.
The property makes the most of its setting. The bay dominates. Very special is the open-air dining area with easy access to the kitchen, and also to the indoor dining table. This allowed teenagers and children to eat at one table while adults enjoyed the open-air space, but with good communication between the two groups. If needed, each table could sit eight. The bedrooms are comfortable without being luxurious. We made a lot of use of the four kayaks. A great way to get children and teenagers away from electronic entertainment! The bikes also got a workout. We appreciated the pet-friendliness. The fact that the property is away from any significant road traffic meant meant it was easy to let the dogs get some exercise chasing a ball outside or taking a 2k round trip. Everyone enjoyed themselves with a lot of laughs. This is a reflection of the quality of the venue.

Relaxing short getaway for sunsets and birdlife
Stayed for 2 nights with our teenage children, and we enjoyed our stay. The house is clean, spacious, open planned, with a gorgeous outlook to the water. The sunset was absolutely spectacular. The kitchen has a beautiful outlook over water. A nest of prey birds not far away - loved watching them swoop fish out of the water. Even the toilet has a nice view. The house is on the far end of the island from the jetty - we got a taxi there (cheap taxi ride), and settled in for the whole time, as it is a bit of a distance from anywhere. Only one bike was in action when we were there - they need a bit of TLC, which was a bit disappointing. The gusty winds at high tide also wasn't in our favour to spend much time on the paddle boards, but we had a go, and tried our luck with the crab pots. If you have a still day at high tide, the paddle boards would be great, but we were getting blown into the shore. You really need to launch them at high tide, as there is a decent amount of mud at low tide. The best part of our stay was hanging out on the decks and lazing in the hammock at sunset, and watching the bird life. My kids enjoyed having a fish from the nearby rocks. I recommend this house for a quiet and relaxed lazy getaway, for bird life and sunsets.

Mud
The weather was against us for our stay as the wind made water sports very difficult combined with low tide most of the day exposing copious amounts of mud with the occasional sharp coral designed to slice into feet.

Very clean. Nice house layout. Wonderful Views. More comfortable lounges would be good. (Could spoil people with recliner or 2). Midges bad last 2 days during our week stay, but that goes with the island I guess). Came away very refreshed thankyou.

Mid week respite
The house was pleasing upon pulling into the driveway. Neat and tidy. The house itself is welcoming and airy with a beachy feel. We only used the main bedroom which has plenty of room and a comphy bed. It was nice to be able to see the view from all areas of the bathroom. 💩 with a view.. 😁 2 deck areas were great.. but take this advice.. Stop in at the IGA abd buy some "SHOO" insect spray the other stuff jyst does not do anything for the midges when they decide to visit. We caught several decent flathead off the backyard between the white posts in the water. We enjoyed our stay and would have liked a few more days to chill and use the kayaks and bikes. supplied. 9 outa 10 for sure..

Lovely property, amazing views, very relaxing. Love that it's set up to accommodate kids. There are a lot of extra niceties, including the downstairs area with kayaks, bikes, fishing gear etc. Unfortunately there is not a lot of accommodation available on this island so it is a captive market. The extra guest and administration fees are exorbitant.
