Martin and Mary were great hosts. We got the feeling that they genuinely enjoy hosting people! They had lots of recommendations for things to do and see. They were always happy to help. They even gave us some bubbly for New Year’s Eve!
The chalet is pretty compact, with a small living area and two bedrooms. The walls are not very thick and privacy isn’t great. But it’s tidy and modern. There is a large deck at the front with a bbq and nice views. We stayed there in December/January and the deck was a perfect spot for a coffee in the morning, as well as dinner in the evening.
The house is located in a pleasant spot on the hill between the township of Russell and Long Beach, both accessible on foot. The view is really nice from the chalet. There is a spacious lawn and a vege garden is available for guests (we grabbed some lettuce and beans).
All in all, we had a nice time and will definitely go back to Russell!
