Step back to a time when neighbours chatted in the middle of the street; the kids roamed free until called in for dinner; when you could see the Milky Way from your back garden and woke to the sound of kookaburras in the morning. The perfect retreat to try laid back island life - a sweet character cottage in an enchanted garden filled with birdlife on Russell Island - just half an hour from the mainland but a million miles from its bustle and stress. Your adventure starts on the car barge across Moreton Bay or (if you choose not to bring your car) on the twenty minute ferry ride to Russell Island. In the middle of a marine national park, you are quite likely to see dolphins and turtles on the way as well as many varieties of sea birds. Dugongs, lots of fish and crabs live here too. (Fishing is allowed around Russell Island - if you like catching fish and crabs you’ll love it here). Enchanted Garden cottage is the perfect place from which to enjoy everything the island has to offer - at the northern end of the island, it is under 2 kilometres to the shops, jetty, walks, parks, arts centre, community garden, fishing and swimming spots, boat ramp and restaurants. All are easy to walk to. But, with a bike path running from one end of the island to the other, why not copy so many islanders and give bike riding a go. Our cottage even has its own bike shed where you will find 4 bikes and helmets. After your day’s activities - whether you have been seeing the sights, visiting the other islands (via the free inter island ferry), fishing or crabbing or kayaking - you can relax back at your wooded oasis. Chill with a drink in the protected garden room under the grapevines by lantern light? Or maybe a bbq and a fire under the stars on a chilly winter night is more your thing. Feeling romantic? Our garden love seat is the perfect place to enjoy champagne with your darling….or maybe propose? The garden embraces a spacious pergola-covered patio. With barbecues - an extendable table with 8 chairs and an open fire (and the well equipped kitchen), the cottage is so inviting to cook and eat al fresco. You are welcome to pick some fruit and herbs fresh from the garden. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden - Grey water recycling system - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,184 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74900000/74897900/74897892/ce93a620.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private self contained 2 bedroom apartment Russell Island - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=74897892&PinnedHotelID=74897892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64610000/64608800/64608757/b6ce5ee6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunny’s hideout MacLeay Island - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=64608757&PinnedHotelID=64608757&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108360000/108357200/108357190/9b1f1372.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### luxury floating penthouse Russell island Russell Island - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=108357190&PinnedHotelID=108357190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113250000/113246400/113246382/2b91cdbe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Camp in Style - Waterfront Guesthouse Russell Island - Pool - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $301 CA $467 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=113246382&PinnedHotelID=113246382&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99670000/99667100/99667079/b31de8bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perulpa Bay Magnificent upstairs unit, 50 m from sea, top views, Huge veranda MacLeay Island - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=99667079&PinnedHotelID=99667079&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111140000/111132100/111132038/w1166h872x264y0-32549740.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ISLAND HAVEN WOOD - COZY COTTAGE IN AMONGST THE GUMS TREES Russell Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 2 reviews CA $164 CA $305 total includes taxes & fees Oct 1 - Oct 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=111132038&PinnedHotelID=111132038&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113110000/113103400/113103306/d4aebc73.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blue Bee Cottage - beautiful brand new home!

We also got to meet the delightful Kay and she was a wealth of information about RI. Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend. ##### Lisa H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam W. Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Flexible owners - lovely setting, enjoyed it !!! Loved the stay and warm welcome from hosts Kevin and Sue. This is clearly a place that someone has called home in the past and it was still very homely.Property was in a peaceful location and we ended up having xmas lunch under the outdoor pergola instead of planned other family location as it had enough outside space for our siblings and parents. The minor suggestions we would have desired is wifi, the ability to hookup bluetooth to the sound bar/woofer under tv. The blue-ray disk player included gave consistent “disk errors” on each of the cds supplied when loading attempted so we didn't get to enjoy any of the movies on offer.. We would like to stay there again in future and overall the experience was very good. Thank you Kevin and Sue!Adam & Kim ##### Adam W.
