Our family enjoyed a fantastic Christmas on Russell. Liz's place is clean, tidy and well appointed. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare full meals and there are plenty of seating options for a larger group. The bathroom is modern with a very spacious shower. We loved eating on the outdoor table and the quiet location, we frequently heard with the sound of Kiwi's and Moorpork's nearby. The absolute best thing about the place has to be the proximity to the beach at Tapeka Point though. A beautiful little spot with shallow, calm water less than a 5 minute walk.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and stay again in the future. :)
