Parking for 2 cars is available outside your unit and there is parking available for 2 trailer boats located at the back of the complex (these are available on a first come first served basis). Not only does this holiday home offer you a tranquil place to relax, there is also an array of places to explore and activities to enjoy in the area. Walk three minutes to indulge in the fantastic restaurants and cafes in the area. We highly recommend the famous Duke of Marlborough, or Hones Garden for some great local fare. Head to the Russell Wharf to take one of the many tours on offer. Take a dolphin cruise to the Hole in the Rock, take a game fishing charter, or unleash your adventurous side in a high speed jet boat ride. Or enjoy a balmy beach day at Long Beach, just a three-minute drive away from home. To immerse yourself in the history of the town, make your way to Pompallier House built in 1842, or the Russell Museum to explore the wonderful collection of New Zealand history. ## Property amenities ### Beach -
