Russell's place is so warm, and so is his hospitality. Kind and polite, not intrusive but extremely helpful. We loved our staying. The neighbours were also so nice. My 7-year-old played a lot with the kids in the neighbourhood. The bed was so comfy we kept sleeping in! Amazing spot with views of the town and right by the Brewery and Mount Wellington - which I walked all the way up from the house (took me 4 hours though!). Loved every moment. Parks and little shops and playgrounds nearby. The creek where the platypus is is also by the house. Also rock climbing, for those who like, is nearby, walking distance. We didn't have a car during our staying and it was fine. Thanks Russell!!!
