The only "down" side of this property is you will have to have a car in order to enjoy the area. But honestly, after putzing around the bay of islands for a couple of days we just spent our last two days at the property because it was the best part of the area.
Just keep in mind that you will likely need to grab groceries before you get to Russel. There is a small grocery store there but it's offerings are on the thin side.
