We stayed two nights with Cindy and Al. The place is fantastic! Really nice and spacious apartment, kitchen fully equipped, even with a mixer. The view over the bay is gorgeous. We did SUP in the evening in the calm bay. Al gave us a quick introduction on the technique. They are both really kind and fun to talk to. We wish, we could have stayed longer there! Russell is just a five minute drive from the place and a really cute town. We did a sail cruise with the gungha II, they pick you up in Russell. It was a really nice day out in the bay, we saw a lot of dolphins. So we can definitely recommend that.
