A lovely, clean house with modern amenities, a big verandah, and three comfy bedrooms. A short drive to town or a satisfying 15 minute walk, getting around is easy.

The batch was comfy and warm, kitchen had everything we needed and was a short walk down to Long Beach and into the village. Table tennis was a highlight, became very competitive and was greatly appreciated given the weather. Thanks for letting us stay in your patch of paradise. ##### Mark T.

The house is well located and lovely views. Generally very well equipped, we would have preferred a couple of small items (only 1 average frypan, no platter to serve nibbles, no music/radio/stereo and the second bedroom with a small double bed) otherwise we would recommend and return. Nice walk down to Long Beach or Russell itself. ##### Pip G. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane m.

Nov 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views Check in was seamless, property clean and comfortable for 6 adults. The second queen but is on the small side and would more comfortably sleep 1 adult or 2 children. Property views out onto long Beach were breath taking! Ciews can be enjoyed inside as the lounge is surrounded by glass - just always take note that when the doors are open and not, can look deceptively like thee glass doors are open when they are not! Walk into Russell is fairly easy, 15-20 minutes. Just take note it goes down a steep zigzag track which can be hard on some knees. You will also have to walk back up the same track so be prepared! May be a slight challange for those on the not so fit side. ##### Aliese B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette B.

Our only comment would be that when asked to take all our rubbish with us and deposit at the local refuse centre - they are not open on a Thursday (the day we left ) so we were left carrying garbage bags, bottles etc,, until our next stop at the end of the day. ##### Lauren S.
