Russell’s home was a pleasure to rent for a lovely relaxing week away. The house is as described and perfectly set up for a holiday near the beach. We loved being able to walk down the slop to the privately shared beach. If that wasn’t your thing, 150 meters is enclosure bay, a simple stroll down the road, or 500m sandy bay. The island is super dog friendly and being able to bring our fur child was the icing on the cake for a simple holiday which still feels a million miles away from Auckland city. Would love to visit again (hopefully next time not when a cyclone hits!)
