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 - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Freezer - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Stereo - Streaming services - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request ### Things to do - Heated pool ### 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 - Bed sheets changed on request - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![On the beach, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33645300/33645287/4afa3dd9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Absolute waterfront, private paradise.
