This is our second time staying at Russell’s place and it remains a wonderful getaway so close to Perth — perfect for avoiding the long queues down south over Christmas. It was great for the kids and adults alike, whether you wanted to swim in the river, try to snag some bream or just read a good book under the canopy of trees. It remained comfortable indoors even with the 40+ degree scorcher on Christmas Day and the crab pots gave us quite the haul of blue swimmers to enjoy. Overall, another relaxing holiday just like the first we spent here in winter.
