Lovely secluded get away that felt homely.
We stayed in March so the deck got sun around 11am-5pm due to the bush & trees. Very dewy & cold outside of those times but when the sun was on the deck there’s a lovely couch & table with umbrella. BBQ was great to have & we had some great meals with it.
It was so special to hear the kiwi’s at sunset & through the night. No birds came to the bird bath in the 10 days but we saw some fantails in the trees & there was a very friendly Weka who almost came to sit with us on the deck!
In hindsight, the two rooms with single beds we should have asked to be made into doubles due to only being a group of adults & no kids, if that helps anyone else’s forward planning.
Lovely to have a stereo & CDs to play music with dinner. It’s touches like these that makes it a home away from home.
Would highly recommend the following whilst in Russell:
A day trip with Nat aboard her yacht. Search for ‘vigilant yacht charters’
&
Nittaya Thai Massage 👌🏽
