My husband and I had a lovely stay at Karen's place. Ideal location, near all restaurants in the centre of town. The unit is cozy yet specious, and the private balcony is a wonderful place to sit back, relax and enjoy the Russell waterfront. Karen and her husband, Gerry, were very friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond, helping us coordinate with our sailing tour operator when weather threw a wrench in our plans. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and homemade bread was a real treat! We would highly recommend Karen's place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Russell, you won't regret it!
