Bay cottage really is away from it all, high up in the trees, above the bay, sitting on the deck watching and listening to the birds or looking at the stars is really very special. It is a 7 minute drive into Russell where there are shops , cafes, restaurants and the heritage buildings. Long beach is just over the hill from Russell and is great if you want to swim in the turquoise ocean. The cottage is very well laid out and David provides everything that is needed for a really enjoyable stay. The walk to the little island at the end of the peninsular is well worth doing at low tide and provides lovely views over to Russell.
