The house is well equipped with all the homewares for a perfect self catering holiday, creating memories of a fabulous romantic getaway or a delightful family holiday.

Disappointed
We initially booked for 3 nights but ended up leaving after 2 nights. It’s a beautiful property, but while lounging in the lounge area, we found a dead mouse on the couch which was pretty filthy to look at. The bedroom was not up to standard - dead mosquitoes on the bed, the toilet wasn’t flushing, and there was no extra blanket or duvet. I had hoped for a pleasant stay as my partner and I took a holiday after 6 months. But weren’t happy at all. Hopefully we will have a better stay in Russell next time.

Fantastic views, peaceful & lux
Great property. Fully kitted to have a good time. Loved the toy selection, garage space for the kids to enjoy and even the amazing playground in the middle of the bush! (Lots of muddy clothes to wash but kids loved it - not for kids under 6 I’d say as it’s quite steep). We’ll definitely come back. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Stunning views
This beautiful house high up in the trees has everything you need for a great stay. After initial trouble getting up the steep drive due to freak weather conditions the house was more than worth it. Comfy beds, super modern facilities and that view! Our hostess was helpful and her knowledge of the local area made our stay very special.

Luxurious house with breathtaking view
The house is just incredible: luxurious, spacious and well equipped, embedded in the bush, throning on a hill and with a breathtaking view over the bay and it‘s islands. The pictures don‘t do it justice. Just ist back and relax on the terrace that runs the full lenghth of the house or take in the scenery through the huge windows from the dining table. Pretty, historic Russell is nearby with a surprinsingly good infrastructure. Kelly was very helpful and responded immediately to our questions.
